Here are the guidelines...
Be a World Series Columnist
Tired of disagreeing with your favorite sports writers and columnists? Do you have the kind of unique insight on sports that the world needs to be aware of? Can your written word bring about world peace?
Well, while maybe not all three are true, this is a sports fan's chance to be discovered. Bid now for a chance to write about the World Series and have your column published on FOXSports.com.
In true 21st Century/Internet style, you can concentrate on the game in the relaxed surroundings of your own home and watch each game of this year's Fall Classic on Fox Sports. You will follow each pitch, swing and slide, and assemble your thoughts after each game. Then, submit your work to the FOXSports.com editorial team, and tell your friends and neighbors to go to the site and see your work.
Just like any columnist, you will have your stories published with your picture accompanying the byline. But unlike other columnists, your work will also be promoted during the World Series on Fox. Just think, your name in lights on one of the grandest stages in sports - The World Series.
So bid now, and sports columnists of the world beware - the next great wordsmith may soon be discovered!
