Work for Sphere News

If you love what we do and are interested in being part of Sphere News, we’re always on the lookout for volunteers who are keen to share cool things with the wider Minecraft community. Applications for our core staff team and for guest writers are always open, and we’d love to hear from you. The application form and system have been refreshed for 2026.  You must be aged 16+ to apply.  Previously unsuccessful applicants are welcome to re-apply if they wish.

CORE ROLES

Below are the current roles we’re looking for for the core team – although if you have other ideas for how you’d like to help, you’re welcome to put in an on-spec application for a role not mentioned.  As these are longer-term positions, we look for people who are a good fit in terms of both skills and culture.  If you’re interested in a shorter-term, trial, or partner role, please scroll down to the “Guest Writers” section.  Applications for the core team can be submitted here.

SOCIAL MEDIA

• Create original social media content.

IN-GAME PHOTOGRAPHY

GUEST WRITERS

If you don’t want (or aren’t accepted for) a core role, but would be interested in writing one-off or occasional articles, you can also use this form for applying as a guest writer.  We’re open to submissions of already-written articles (including those that have already been published elsewhere), or pitches for article ideas you’d like to write if they get approved.  That could be a news story, an opinion piece, a tutorial / educational article, or some other form of written content about Minecraft. We’re also open to discussions with the organisers of events and projects that are already producing long-form written content and would be interested in partnering with us to share it more widely.
