Writer Application — Off Leash

Off Leash Fall 2024 Applications Open Now thru October 27th 11:59pm!

Hello! We're glad to see you're interested in applying to be a writer at Off Leash News. You may want to work in a separate document and apply here at the end in order to save your work.

Some advice: avoid low hanging fruit like frat boys being gay, dining hall food being inedible, business majors being stupid. Also, we humbly beg you to keep your pieces short and sweet, except for the one where we explicitly tell you to make it long.

If you could create a new major at UW, what would it be?

Pick a celebrity that you feel matches your persona and explain how you are similar.

Give us three of your best sample headlines. For examples see our website (which you are currently on) or our Instagram (linked at the bottom of the page).

Submit a sample comedy article (300-500 words) using a topic of your choosing. This is the type of article you would find in our magazines, which have themes but are very open to creative freedom. Show us your creativity here and have fun with it.

Submit a sample satirical piece (300-500 words) to showcase your writing abilities. These types of articles are the ones featured on our website. Feel free to read through some to get an idea of what we're looking for.

Alright, now for the boring stuff.
