Runescape Guide Writers

Guide writers for runescape are indeed a rare entity. Through the creation of my site I have been approached by many people who desired to write plenty of guides to be published - however, when asked to actually write a guide they have not returned or have simply tried to copy a guide from another runescape fan site and claim it as their own guide.

Without doubt, the biggest burden of my time has been trying to establish a good guide writing team who will be dedicated to helping me realise a complete runescape help site.

The overall task is enormous by myself and the progress is somewhat slower than I had anticipated - as real life comes into play and the time available is reduced significantly when I am practically the sole provider of guides.

I have found one consistent guide writer in Aj that has taken care of the free to play quest guides in runescape, although there are still many more areas that need to be covered in greater detail.

Currently I am looking to finish off the price guides that were initially inspired by Tomisme from the main runescape forums and after that I will look to get some information in each of the main categories on my runescape help site.

If there are any budding runescape guide writers wishing to be part of my guide writing team they can contact me via msn or via my main help site contact form. I do not expect someone to come in and write every guide available, although I do expect that any guide writer will be able to provide a decent quality guide from some aspect of runescape.

Most guides that have been rejected either fail to cover anything to any significant degree or are simply a copy from another fan site. The basic requirement for any guide to be accepted is that it should cover one topic or one aspect of the game that provides sufficient detail to warrant inclusion as a standalone guide (or mini-guide) depending on the topic it covers.

Overall, the website attracts consistently over 100 new people per day but I have not been able to concentrate on promoting it as I am too busy trying to get the background info updated and new guides online to make the site more complete. If anyone wants to help me promote the site or write some guides then they only need to get in contact as I do need all the help I can get.

Thanks,
