    I am writing to express interest in becoming a contributing editor for AAJ. I would be happy to send my resume and writing samples to an appropriate e-mail if requested. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2009 with a degree in journalism, and have be a part of the MMO Community for roughly 10 years now.

    I hope to hear back from AAJ, and look forward to a potentially becoming a member of your team.

    Thanks!
