After a three month trial period, this volunteer position has the potential to provide some pay. Other opportunities at that point include directing other areas of the collective. Future opportunities will be discussed by phone.

Responsibilities:

Along with the other publisher you’ll manage the editorial group as they produce content for the print and web editions of the magazine.

-    excellent writing and communication skills

-    some editing knowledge

-    experience working or volunteering with a non-profit organization

-    an ability to manage diverse responsibilities and stay organized

The co-publisher works with a great deal of independence. Though the other publisher will provide training and be available for regular consultations, to realize success the successful applicant must be self-motivated, organized and have a strong sense of initiative.
