Help Wanted
Without the yearly batch of new JETs, Good Morning Aomori needs many new writers. All Aomori JETs are eligible to write for the site.
Most of the columns on the site are geared toward Japan-related topics, but you can write on basically any topic you’d like. If you need inspiration, take a look at the “columns” sidebar on the right side of this page and browse for a bit. You can even revive one of those columns if you’d like.
Most writers have a column in either Volume I (published on the 1st) or Volume II (published on the 15th), writing one article each month. There is no required word count or length. This is the usual format, but we can also set up a one-time article if you prefer.
If you’re interested, please send an email to goodmorningaomori@gmail.com and include your year on JET, your placement town or city, and either the column you’d like to take over or the idea for your new column or article. The idea can be as vague or as detailed as you choose.
We’re also interested in giving JETs a platform for content other than writing, so please reach out if you have anything you want to share on the blog!
Additionally, we’re looking for a writer to take over the following column:
