Peachtree Hoops back on the horse and looking for writers

by hawksdawgs on May 18, 2009 8:35 AM EDT

First up sorry for lapse in posting, coming soon is a state of Hawks team position by position, then a look at draft needs, followed, no doubt seamlessly, by looking at specific players in the draft. Other posts, thoughts, links will certainly float to the surface and be posted accordingly.

Thanks for a great season this year. Brett started this site and formed a great following by having perfect writing and on point analysis. For those, who choose to start checking two Hawks blogs when he headed over to Hoopinion and I humbly took the reigns, I thank you. For those that have come a long somewhere in between. Your contributions have been great.

This community has continued to grown. Most fanposts drive better conversation than mine. And I love it.

But it has led me to consider adding a new main writer to Peachtree Hoops. Preferably, one with a little different style writing than my own, and hopefully, one that can deal with stats and numbers and all those fancy things that make my head hurt. It could be as little one post every two weeks to something much more. Basically, I want as complete a Hawks blog as possible, and I do not pretend to ignore my limitations as a writer and could use your help.

Any interest, questions, concerns. Hit me up at ptreehoops@gmail.com.

If you do not have a blog somewhere else and/or do not post here regularly, some sample of your writing may be needed. We can only have one grammar challenged writer on this site, and I am firmly entrenched.

I'd totally throw my name in the hat

but I don’t do stats or consistency in case you haven’t noticed. I love your posts though Drew. I think there are some commenters who would do a fine job on here as well. Keep them in mind.

I might be interested

But only because that’s a freakin’ awesome photo.

Same here

Though I would say the fanpost section allows the readers to write their own opinion pieces, which can then be moved to the top of the main section if worthy. I’m actually in the process of starting my own blog, I’m just trying to build up the strength to make that dive. It’s a time issue with me working long hours and having three kids and a wife, but I have been writing for a few years now and sending things to my friends.

I love advanced statistical analysis, and I don’t mind putting the time into it, so maybe it would be something I could do. We’ll see.

I threw my hat in the ring...

I am not a huge statistical guy, but I definitely think I could bring a technical look with a humorous edge to a column each week. And if not? I’ll still be going for 41-41 in “best comments” next season. A .500 record would definitely show improvement.
