Nick’s Guide on “How Do I Become a Game Journalist”
Nick Suttner, of G-pinons and now also at 1Up.com, blogs about as often as I do. Which is to say not much. Which is to say it’s been over a month. Somehow we managed to do this entirely independent of each other. It wasn’t the Great Blogging Blackout Conspiracy. I swear.
Now the moment we’ve all been waiting for as Nick finally posted in his 1Up.com blog. The topic? Mostly answering questions he was getting on how he snagged his job at 1Up and advice for aspiring games journalists on what to do to try to break into the field. Nick is pretty much the product of his advice — I’ve known him for not too long but it was long enough to see him go from a humble guy running a decent gaming blog into landing his current gig. Even if it’s not some formal column, he’s got the basics of what it will take down for anybody to read and learn. Keep an eye on him, I think this kid’s going places.
Hey Nick: Heed some of your own advice and write as often as you can (and I’m not talking about reviews)… Yeah, I need to follow some of that advice too.
