Contributing Writer - Gear Patrol

After applying, waiting, writing, and waiting some more, I found out last week that I've been selected to be a Contributing Writer for Gear Patrol. Gear Patrol is an online publication for men - "The definitive resource for the ever-evolving man."

This is something I really wanted to do and really look forward to the opportunity to help guys with quality writing about products, how-tos, and everything else relevant to advancing us. AND...I'm open for ideas about what you guys are interested in reading.

I've had the desire to write for a long time now, and I feel this is just the first step to fulfilling that dream.

Gear Patrol | The Definitive Men's Resource

Re: Contributing Writer - Gear Patrol

Site looks great, congratulations. Do you have to buy the products to test or do they send them to you?

Re: Contributing Writer - Gear Patrol

It really just depends - some things I may already own or plan on purchasing...others may be sent for evaluation. Almost every single item on the site is peronsally used/tested by one of the "staff."

Very cool, congratulations!

I just scored a similar gig with Leftlane - news, reviews, and info for the auto-industry and I hope to have my first editorial up this week! Woohoo!

Re: Contributing Writer - Gear Patrol

ZaneO- That's a good intro and a nice photo too. The term "confidence inspiring" comes to mind
