Better yet… have you seen our 10-part tutorial series on Unreal Engine and thought it would be fun to help create more high quality Unreal Engine tutorials like this for the community?

Requirements and How to Apply
Here are the requirements:

- You should be a great writer with fluent English writing skills.
- You should be comfortable learning brand new topics that you’ve never done before; some of which may not yet be documented or poorly documented.
- You should have a strong work ethic — this will be a significant time commitment and it’s not easy.
To apply, send me an email, and be sure to include the following information:
- Why do you want to be an Unreal Engine author or tech editor? Please specify which role you prefer.
- Please tell me a little bit about yourself and your experience.
