Hey gang,
As I'm sure you've put together already, The Axe Badger is a multi-faceted organization consisting of me, Matt Chapman (who does any graphic that looks good), and...uh...well I think that's just about it.
And while that has gotten me this far, I'd be fooling myself into thinking that one writer and one artistic phenom/amazing axe thrower are gonna be enough to sustain a weekly (ish. I know I've been slacking off recently) axe blog.
So with that in mind, I'd like to formally invite any/all of you to write your thoughts and have them featured on The Axe Badger. Here's the deal:
Reach out to me on this blog (there is a little contact box at the bottom of every page) and let me know your thoughts about what you'd like to write about.
If your idea isn't a nightmare (fits the blog's overall feel/tone), I'll give you my email address and you can send your piece over to me.
I'll edit it a bit if needed, and send it back to you for a final approval, grabbing your bio and a pic.
Then I'll feature that shit on the blog.
You may be asking yourself: self, what kind of stuff does Badger want to see?
Well, friend, lemme tell you some starting themes:
New product reviews (not of your own stuff. C'mon) related to the sport.
Thoughts on rules/leagues/anything axe throwing
Weird stuff you've done (like, you know, an analysis on throwing stances/handle length vs. beard length, what we can learn from a pangolin, etc.)
Someone you interviewed/a piece on someone you admire in the sport.
Hot takes and cool thoughts.
Bonus points if you include media with your submission, but don't let that stand in your way.
Oh, also: if you're not confident in your ability to write/are afraid that you'll look silly because you aren't the strongest in grammar/English/whatever--I personally promise you, I will not let you show your entire ass because you don't have that skillset. I am a writer/editor by trade, and I'm more than happy to clean up anything you give me. BUT I ALSO won't remove your voice/your language from the piece. Do you get what I'm saying? I will help with grammar but I will try like hell to keep your voice the prominent factor in the post, is what I'm getting at.
So, if you find yourself with a lot to say and nowhere to say it, consider me your low-investment option for minor, inconsequential fame.
I look forward to either regretting this call for submissions and/or delighting in it.
