WRITE FOR US

If you like what we do, and want to help us out, contact yaleactualweeklynews@gmail.com. Please have “YAWN Interest” as the subject, and include your answers to these questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

If you’re feeling unsure about the style we look for, check out our “how to write a headline” page! We don’t care if you write in our style in your application, but it’ll certainly help you get an idea of what we look for in our jokes.

Writing experience is NOT required - we don’t care if you’ve been doing this for years or just want to join a fun group.

1. Why do you want to write for YAWN?

2. Please write at least 10 headlines - make sure some headlines are topical and/or relevant to Yale.

3. Write captions for 3 of your headlines.

4. Which post of ours do you not think is funny? Explain why you dislike the humor and propose ways it could be improved.
