Have you always wanted to write for WSC, or wondered what goes on behind closed doors at an independent football magazine?

Do you want to learn new skills, make industry contacts and be paid to write an article that will be published in WSC magazine?

We are excited to launch the first WSC mentoring and development scheme for aspiring and early career female journalists, not currently in full-time education, with an interest in football/sports journalism. The scheme is free to take part in, and is open to ambitious writers, editors, sub-editors, podcasters and publishers, with a passion for football and something to say.
