Okay, so we don’t have any money, so you’ll be overworked and underpaid. What else is new? In exchange for your time, you will receive unconditional greensburg love, free food, and occasional dumpstered goodies which could range from anything to, well, anything, really.
You do not need to have experience with layout via a computer (we’re using Scribus), but some layout experience, even of a personal nature (i.e. zines, scrapbooking, altered art), is preferred. Skills with blogs and computer graphic design a major plus.
Send a resume, samples of your work, and a self-portrait in your choice of medium to: greensburg magazine layout staff, P.O. Box 652, greensburg, PA 15601.
You must be able to meet in the Greensburg area at least once every other week during off-periods and at least three times per week in the two weeks before an issue is released. We are willing to work with your school in order to help you get credit for your work.
Are you accepting email applications for this position? I am currently studying in London until April but am interested in this position and/or any other similiar upcoming positions. Thanks.
Sure, Kelly, an email application is fine. When in April will you be around? Our second issue comes out May 15th, with a sampler issue coming out on the 20th or so.
What are you studying in London?
Moira
Moira,
I apologize for the delayed response. I am still very interested in the postion and will return to Greensburg on April 27th.
I am an English Writing major at UPG and am studying literature and writing while in London. I have an internship at a non-profit organization that helps aspiring screenwriters and I write adverts for their website.
Is there an email address I am able to send my resume to? I’ve been looking around on the website but cannot find one.
Also, I believe I had a poem published in your first issue. Is there a way to confirm that? It was titled “Upon Reading Beasts by Joyce Carol Oates.” I was told it went in but have no way of knowing until I get back to Greensburg.
I will be sure to check the site more often for further correspondence!
Thanks,
Kelly
