Arts Writers Wanted
Writers needed for MiamiARTzine.com.  We need writers who are interested in covering the Miami/South Florida arts scene.

This is a perfect opportunity for journalism students and up and coming writers to increase their portfolios, get experience, have their work be seen and make contacts. We need people who can write with some flair, who are punctual, who communicate with their editor, who answer e-mails promptly, and who can turn around a story in 7-10 days. The ability to take and transmit digital photos is a plus. Writers should have a working knowledge of the arts and be comfortable with interviews. Writers are always encouraged to pitch stories that would fit the target and mission of the e-zine. Please, please, please: Only reply if you're serious about your work. We don’t have time to deal with writers who wouldn't know a deadline if it bit them and who don't contact their editor when a story falls through. We’re only interested in working with writers who understand and practice professionalism. As the e-zine is produced by a non-profit organization, compensation will be in experience, clips and perks, including press credentials and entry into events.
