The Shareware Review is a monthly electronic magazine dedicated to
Macintosh shareware. A conservative estimation of its circulation is
1000-2000, and it can be a lot more if a shareware CD-ROM publisher puts
a particular issue on a CD-ROM.
At the moment, it doesn't usually have reviews of IF games. That means
that, by signing on as a reviewer, you could introduce thousands of
people to the fact that IF games are still being created and played.
To review games, Jacob is looking for somebody " who's played lots of
Infocom, and lots of shareware programs." Knowledge of TADS or Inform is a
plus.
He's also looking for somebody to write a column on writing IF games. For
that, he'd like somebody who has a lot of experience in designing and
programming IF, and, if possible, has at least one game already out on the
market.
By the way--although he's looking for somebody to do a regular column, my
guess would be that he'd be interested in one-time reviews, too.
Writers for the Shareware Review don't get paid, unfortunately, but they
do get a free subscription to the mag. As I mentioned, it's also an
opportunity to help introduce IF to a wider audience.

of the Shareware review can be found at your neighborhood Info-Mac
mirror, as /info-mac/per/shareware-review-95-10.hqx.
