Hello!

My name is Michael D'Avino and I am the managing editor of SPMsportspage.com. SPM is a national online sports publication with more than 130 staff members covering various professional and collegiate sports all over the country.

You can view our publication at: http://www.spmsportspage.com/.

I am hoping that a member of this message that is either a writer, a fan that likes to write or a student that is thinking about being a journalist may be interested in joining SPM. We are looking for writers and photographers to cover sports at all colleges or universities, and in some cases we can provide credentials for professional teams and/or minor league teams that are within your area. For example, we have received credentials from sports organizations ranging from the NCAA to the PGA and the NBA/WNBA among many others.

Last season SPM was the only publication to have both a writer and a photographer cover every WNBA team. However, this season some people have gotten paying jobs, which is great and a few others cannot commit to covering teams. We definitely need a photographer to cover the Atlanta Dream, the WNBA’s newest team along with someone in San Antonio.

Covering WNBA teams that have NBA ties can get you credentialed to cover NBA games. We also are looking for photographers interested in Arena Football and all sports. This does not have to be for every game. Its when you have the time.

A budding photographer could enjoy the invaluable benefit of some real-world experience, get a chance to hone his or her skills, and possibly create a stepping stone for future employment. We do believe experience with our publication would be an excellent resume booster for any writer or photographer. We are publishing on a national platform (we've even had some international coverage and plan to continue that), so working with us could very well give a student a leg-up on the competition.

There would be no monetary compensation; everyone at SPM is working for the benefit of having credentials for sporting events and to gain experience and improve their skills. We currently publish info from both amateur and professional writers and photographers. Please understand, no one is being paid at SPM - not even me. We are a FREE publication at this time.

That said, we do believe we can offer an invaluable (and possibly unique) experience for many of you writers and photographers, while you can help us to grow and increase coverage in certain geographical areas.

Also, if you would kindly share this message where appropriate with any friends or schoolmates I would be most grateful.

I thank you for your time and consideration. Please e-mail me at contactus@spmsportsinc.com if you want any further information. I would be glad to answer any and all questions you may have.


Sincerely;
Mike D'Avino, President and Managing Editor
SPM Sports, Inc./SPMsportspage.com
