Shimmer is looking for a new Art Director!

We publish contemporary speculative fiction with a focus on fantasy, and our publishing schedule is currently in flux–our goal is to once again come out quarterly, but the first step will be to publish biannually. Our new Art Director will need to be able to adapt to our not-yet-solid schedule and grow with us as our all-volunteer staff once again picks up steam.

We’re also looking into electronic versions of the magazine (we could come straight to your e-reader!), so any knowledge in this area is a big plus.

If you’re interested in what our current design is, check out Issue 10.

Check out the duties and requirements below–if you feel like you would be a good match for us, email editor-in-chief, Beth.

Art Director Duties:

-Review art submissions and accept or decline them. (Each issue will need a cover piece and several interior pieces.)

-Keep the Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor up to date. (One of our goals is to have more visibility into this part of the process.)

-Occasionally put together ads or other marketing materials.

Requirements:

-Working knowledge of InDesign (or other layout software)

-Layout experience

-The ability to adapt to a still-in-flux publishing schedule

Emails should include any applicable experience and links to samples of previous work.

Cheers!
