We're seeking a new editor for Update! This is a volunteer position
with significant responsibility and visibility. Producing Update
involves lots of smart, dedicated volunteers and follows a predictable
quarterly cycle of activity. Most of the activity is done by email,
some by phone. The editor is responsible for the first two phases of
each cycle: Content Creation & Content Production. Content creation
involves: soliciting, refining and generating ideas for articles,
recruiting volunteer writers, and doing some writing. Content
production involves: setting deadlines and making sure writers send
their articles & photos on time; editing articles for length &
grammar; creating headlines, captions & abstracts; deciding the
order of articles; and compiling it all electronically. All this
probably takes less than an hour a week during the first two months of
each quarter, and about 8-10 hours total during the last month of each
quarter. If this is your dream job, send us a note!
