Odyssey is an online platform that allows millennials to share their voices and, in turn, to be heard. I'm sure you've seen Odyssey articles floating around on social media and thought that you could never do something like that or maybe even that you don't want to do something like that.
Like what, you ask? Have your work published week after week for the whole world to see via a company that has its Creators at heart. Having said that, you shouldn't knock something until you try it. Sign up to write for our community at West Virginia University today and let the world see what you can do.
Head over to www.theodysseyonline.com/apply and check WVU as your community- you won't regret it, I promise. Don't believe me? Take a look at these 5 reasons why Creators, that are already a part of our community, said they decided to join.
1. If you have a passion for writing but never seem to make time for it, our weekly deadlines are a good way to hold yourself accountable and continue to push out great content on a regular basis.
Blogs are great, don't get me wrong but it's a lot easier to slack off when you don't have structure.
2. It becomes a hobby as our intentions are that you have fun above all else and you make friends!
Sure the opportunity to have your work published is great but, honestly, what's even better is feeling at home in a community of diverse and unique individuals.
3. It's a phenomenal resume booster.
Writing, editing, marketing, content strategy, networking, and everyday communication/professional skills are just a few of the things that look good on a resume, right?
4. You have the ability to write about anything you would like as this is something that doesn't exist with many other publications. With this comes responsibility but also the ability to be relatable and reach your own, personal audience with each individual audience.
No word count. No pushed agenda.
5. If writing/editing is something you look towards in your future, Odyssey is the perfect outlet for you to spark your creativity and get in real world experience while still in a "safe" environment.
I have full confidence that you won't regret joining Odyssey and that our community at West Virginia University will open up a whole new world of opportunities for you all.
