I've been writing for Odyssey for about three months now, and I am really really enjoying it. I've recently been trying to recruit more content creators, so I've had a lot of time to reflect on the reasons why one would want to write for Odyssey. I decided to put together a list of reasons as to why you should write for Odyssey and why I write for Odyssey. Here they are:
1. Free speech
Odyssey is a platform created to give writers a voice about whatever they want. You have the ability to write about whatever you want with whatever opinion you want. You aren't forced or told to write about certain things.
2. It's a good opportunity
If you want to be a writer, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get some good experience. Whenever you're trying to get a job, "content creator for The Odyssey" looks really good on a resume.
3. It's good writing practice
Writing new and different articles every week and publishing them to share your writing with the public is good practice. Every week you get to write about something new; new ideas, new style of writing, etc. This is really good practice for writers to learn how to better their writing every single week.
4. This is a platform to use your voice
Odyssey is a good platform to use your voice in positive ways. You can help people by putting your thoughts and experiences out there. You can inspire and actually make a difference and that's the greatest feeling in the world.
5. It will prepare you for any future writing field
Odyssey has deadlines which is something that will absolutely always occur in a writing industry. This prepares you to reach and follow deadlines in a sometimes quick manner while still writing great content.
