Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Dorkaholics is looking for passionate and analytical individuals to join the team and create content about the vast world of pop culture from opinion pieces to video segments to social media posts.

Dorkaholics is your destination for news and exclusives on the most inspiring stories within pop culture across comic books, film & television, and video games.

Our content makes pop culture less intimidating by serving it in a friendly, digestible manner.

Through informative and insightful discussions, our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower the pop culture fandom to be their best selves.

What We're Looking For

  • The content you submit should come from a place of passion, whether it’s your favorite character or film, or a topic you feel strongly about.
  • Don’t be afraid to put your fandom on display but think critically and communicate effectively.
  • If you’re talking about the irresponsible wealthy, then discuss Bruce Wayne with the same weight you would give to a real life somebody.
  • Be honest, objective, fair, diligent, and accountable.

Benefits

  • Your goals are taken into consideration and the role you take on will be designed to help prepare you for your career
  • Dorkaholics is an independent publisher, allowing those who work with us to produce work that will not be stifled, but only supported and pushed to meet to higher standards

Guidelines

  • Recognition: You will receive recognition for the work you contribute – your work will include your byline, social media accounts, and even your own bio.
  • Self-Driven: You have a say in the direction of your work, whether you’re an expert eager to share your predictions and opinions, an explorer looking to dive deep into something new with a different point-of-view, a devil’s advocate looking to challenge the mainstream opinion or one of many dorkaholics who no longer want to be anonymous.
  • Think Critically: Be sure to explore the reasons behind your critique, views, opinions. Don’t just answer how something made you feel, explain why it did so. Bring attention to what is done well. Educate others by dissecting the components of the work. Begin a discussion. Challenge assumptions.
  • In-Depth and Concise: We don’t have word requirements, but we tend to publish posts that are at least 750 words. Our content is detailed and dives deep, but we are careful to avoid being repetitive.
  • Thoroughly Edited: While the dorkaholics editorial team will do their part in editing your work before publication, we strongly encourage contributors to go over their submissions multiple times before it gets to us.
  • Respect Copyright: Please include the proper attribution for third-party photos and videos accompanying your work.
  • Disclose Information: Please provide disclaimer information for complimentary copies of reviewed media.
