Kink-e-Zine is an online publication serving the BDSM, Leather, Kink & Fetish communities. Within one year, we have seen coverage expand from exclusively San Francisco Bay Area to nationwide, with worldwide coverage in the works. In order to make such a vital publication as Kink-e-Zine, my responsibility is to make sure that a proficient Staff is in place to insure smooth operations with each monthly issue. Are you someone who wants to contribute your knowledge of the BDSM, Leather, Kink & Fetish lifestyle? Are you someone who can meet deadlines necessary to publish issues on time? Do you want to “give back to your community” in some capacity? Then maybe Kink-e-Zine is something you---and we---can benefit from as a Staffperson!
Kink-e-Zine has openings for the following positions. Please keep in mind that these positions are strictly voluntary at the time, as Kink-e-Zine is presently a free publication; however, plans are to establish a tiered system in the near future, which would produce revenues to offer monthly stipends for Kink-e-Zine Staff.
Please email publisher@kink-e-zine.com with the position you are interested in, telling a bit about your background in the scene, pertinent experience you have that would qualify you for the position you’re applying for, and if possible, samples of your work. Due to the time-sensitive nature of each issue published monthly, it is requested that you seriously consider your time availability and commitment to this cause before applying.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: NOVEMBER 30, 2008
