Here at Sewcialists, we have three permanent editors (myself, Becky and Gillian) plus a number (usually 3-4) of temporary editors who come on board for 6-month stints. That means it’s time to ask whether you want to come and join us from January to June 2020 as a temp editor!
We love the fresh ideas, passion and friendships that come from having temp editors: they bring energy and creativity, as well as much needed help 🙂
Here are some of the tasks you would take on if you join the Editorial team:
- taking turns running The Sewcialists Instagram account, including posting, reposting, responding and commenting
- emailing back and forth with guest authors
- liaising with our incredible copy editor team to make sure posts are ready for publishing
- communicating and planning with the Editorial team
- creating blog content, such as interviews, roundups, and announcements at least once a month
We think there are a lot of benefits to becoming a temp editor, too! It’s a chance to give back the sewing community and to amplify discussions about topics near and dear to your heart. You get to meet inspiring people through discussions, comments, chats and emails. As a team, we put each other first, so if something comes up in life we are *always* flexible.
If that sounds good to you, please drop us a line at sewcialists@gmail.com and let us know a bit about you and why you would like to volunteer as a temp editor. We’d love to have you!
