Write for B&S About Movies!

Posted on by

Over the next few months, there will be several themes and this is a great way to get started writing for the site. It’s easy to get started. Either respond to this post or email Sam at BandSAboutMovies@gmail.com

Here’s what’s coming up…

September: The movies of USA Up All Night

If a movie was on USA Up All Night, it’s fair game. There are 729 of them and this Letterboxd list will guide you through which movies are eligible. There are no rules other than to have fun — no set word or character counts and you can send me your article in whatever format you want. You can even write about how much you loved the show or the hosts. Please send any articles by September 15, 2023 for inclusion as well as any plugs and a bio.

October: The movies of Chiller Theater

Instead of the traditional slasher month, this year I’ll be featuring movies that “Chilly” Bill Cardille aired in Pittsburgh on the former WIIC (now WPXI) Channel 11. To help you, this Letterboxd list has all 638 movies that were on the show. You can also write about what Chiller Theatre and the people on the show meant to you. Again, no rules, other than please have it to me by October 15, 2023.

While I can’t pay for your writing, you’ll get seen by around 50,000+ unique viewers a month, I’ll share your post on our social media and will write something for your site in kind, if you’d like.

Above all else, this should be fun. I hope to meet some new people and get some new writers for the site.
