Basketball Writer/Creator

thePeachBasket started as a passion project by someone who fell in love with writing after contributing to BleacherReport, the LA Times and others. Our goal is to provide a platform for all passionate basketball fans. We are now and will always be a Voice of the Fan!™ and Home of Fan Experts!™

We believe

Every basketball fan deserves a place to share their passion
The best basketball analysts aren’t all on TV

We are

Committed to promoting and elevating the voice of all passionate basketball fans
A safe place for NBA fans to respectfully talk up their team

We will

Deliver unique basketball content across multiple platforms
Always be about the game of basketball at all levels

Our team is growing and is made up of a diverse group of passionate fans from literally all around the world! Are you the person all your friends come to for basketball news/opinions? Do you get excited at the sound of sneakers squeaking and the splash of a swish? If that is you and you want to take your fandom up a level then write with us!

Writers are grouped into one of three categories.

A Roving Reporter Contributor is someone that can’t commit to a set number of posts, but still loves the game. This is a good role if you are curious about writing but aren’t sure about the process. The only ask from us if this is where you see yourself is that you contribute at least one article every two weeks.

The next category is Lead Writer Contributor. As a Lead Writer you will be assigned to a team and work with that group of writers to create content. A Lead Writer might do pre-game and post-game articles, opinion pieces and generally anything you might have an interest in that is basketball related. A Lead Writer would be expected to contribute at least one article a week.

Our top level writers are our Fan Experts! Fan Experts have proven themselves as contributors and are free to write whatever basketball related articles they want. While a Lead Writer may join us on a podcast or stream, it is the Fan Experts that are expected to move beyond just print. As a Fan Expert you would be expected to contribute at least one article a week and be available for podcasts and streams. Most importantly, Fan Experts are able to post their content ASAP.

We are proud of our site and equally proud of the fact that it has grown every season. The 2023-24 season promises to be our best one yet! In addition to a commitment to tirelessly promote your work we offer the following.

A network of over 100 contributors including our partners
Access to a dedicated channel where our writers talk hoop
A training site we call the Naismith Academy which is required for all contributors
Our site is Google News approved
Our site is Yardbarker approved
Our site is regularly available on Basketball-Reference
We have access to streaming, video and image editing and advanced basketball statistics

So, what’s next? If you are a passionate basketball fan with an interest in writing and have made it all the way to this sentence in this very long ad, you are ready for the next step! Please complete this very short form - https://forms.gle/PmRoLsocrWt6fdJk8. We will need to see a writing sample and want to know what role you see yourself in. After that, we will reach out.

Thank you again for your interest in writing with us!

A note regarding pay. Indeed asks us to submit a salary above $0, so we did. However, while we continue to grow we are not generating enough money to pay creators. We do however offer opportunities through partners that do pay. Unfortunately, there was no option to account for that so we added the range listed. Our commitment is to grow by marketing our content as aggressively as possible. At this moment we offer exposure and an opportunity to share your passion for basketball across multiple media outlets. We would love to have you grow with us!
