The BFD is seeking motivated, reliable, concise and professionally-minded writers. We are wanting to expand on the range of topics that we cover so your content does not have to be political.

Local news stories are as welcome as anything to do with sport or history. If you are based overseas we would welcome news and political opinion from your country. We welcome book, music, movie and other reviews. If you have a speciality that you want to share with our audience then we are willing to give it a try. There is no limit to the types of reviews we can publish or the range of topics.

We are also looking for a Satirist. We would love to have a BFD version of Steve  Braunias or articles in the style of The Civilian or The Babylon Bee.

Whatever your politics are if you are an engaging writer then we will publish it. We encourage debate and a free and open contest of ideas on The BFD so we do not expect any of our writers to sing from the same song sheet.

We invite writers to submit articles to us as guest writers. If you decide that you are enjoying regularly contributing and we are happy with the quality of your content we will then create an author biography for you.

After you have been contributing every week for 12 months your author biography will be added to our Author drop-down list which will mean that you have become an official BFD writer.

The BFD is already New Zealand’s largest New Media website as well as a community platform through MyBFD.

If you have a strong desire to be involved in growing an already very popular New Media site, contact us now. There is no obligation, just an opportunity to “give it a go.” We are looking for writers who can write interesting and concise content that will engage, inform and entertain our readers. A sense of humour is very welcome.

Please email us your first contribution this week. I look forward to reading it.

Send your content to sb at the bfd.co.nz
