INFO: Managing Editor Wanted

Buzzscope is almost ready to officially complete its relaunch as PopCultureShock, and I’m now looking to bring another editor onboard to assist me with copyediting and trafficking of our recurring columns. We’ve seriously ramped up our comics content over the past 5 months, bringing on a wide range of columnists and ongoing features, and I need someone to help manage that content while I turn my attention towards getting our reviews up and running again and, hopefully, providing some more regular content myself.

It’s a great opportunity for anyone wanting to flesh out their resume and/or have a deeper connection to the industry. While there’s no pay, there’s a pretty good discount on comics available, and you’d be getting in on the proverbial ground floor as the site is growing steadily and we’ve got some great plans down the line. The ideal candidate is a good writer themselves, lives in New York City, and has a serious interest in improving the quality and tone of comics journalism on the internet.

Drop me an email if you’re interested, at glecharles (at) gmail.com, and include a brief bio and links to no less than 5 writing samples. Also, if you’re not familiar with the site, please take a few moments to browse through our content to get a sense of what we’re doing and where we’re coming from.
