This is a reminder that applications to become *Shameless*‘s new
front-of-book editor are due in two days.

*Shameless* magazine, Canada’s independent, feminist voice for young women
and trans youth, is hiring a *front-of-book editor*. Are you devoted to
grassroots publishing? Do you have a commitment to anti-oppression and
inclusive feminist politics? Do you have some time to volunteer and a
vision for *Shameless*? Then we need you.

We are looking for a smart, sassy, shameless person to work as our new
front-of-book editor.

*Job description:*
• Works with the editorial team to plan and assign the front-of-book
• Assigns stories to writers and works directly with writers to shape
stories
• Edits stories
• Occasionally represents the website and/or the magazine at events such as
Canzine and Word on the Street

*The ideal candidate will:*
• Have an understanding of and commitment to Shameless’s mandate
• Have excellent writing and editing skills
• Be super organized and an excellent communicator
• Have lots of story ideas (contacts with writers is a plus)
• Be available for regular editorial meetings
• Work well with a team

We are looking for people who work well collaboratively, who have a good
sense of *Shameless*’s editorial vision, who are committed to anti-racist
feminist politics, who have editorial experience, and who are excellent
communicators and work well over email (*Shameless* has no office).

All positions are part-time, requiring 5-10 hours per week, depending on
the production cycle of the magazine. Most people who work on the magazine
do so outside of regular business hours, and meetings will likely be held
during evenings and weekends.

Like all roles on this volunteer-run magazine, these positions are unpaid.
(If you have ideas for how we can change that, then please get in touch!)

We strongly encourage applications from women and trans people of colour
and Indigenous women and trans people and those with experience with
anti-racist feminist politics and/or anti-racist feminist organizations.
Preference will be given to residents of the Greater Toronto Area to
facilitate face-to-face meetings with magazine staff.
Please email a resume, a cover letter containing your ideas for the
magazine/website, and three writing samples (published or unpublished) to
sheila at shamelessmag.com. The deadline for applications is Monday, July 16,
2012. We’ll contact you if we’d like to set up an interview.
