Newsletter Staff Required:

 

Can you write articles?  Would you like to interview authors and members?  Could you coordinate the collection of stories promised by other members?  If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes" then please read on.

 

The Writer Support Team is looking for staff to assist with the production of The GAzette, the official GA newsletter.  If you would like to join the newsletter team either as a casual contributor or a regular reporter then we need you!

 

At present we're looking for writers to produce good quality articles for the newsletter (editorial support will be provided), assistants to help gather information and support the team by chasing promised articles, artists to create cartoons and picture features and post-production proofreaders.

 

We are also looking for ideas and suggestions for future articles and features, so if you think you can help us or if you have a suggestion to help shape and improve the newsletter then please contact us today.

If you are interested in applying to help with the newsletter of have ideas or suggestions to contribute, please contact the Newsletter Team.

 

Tech Support Volunteer needed:

 

Due to the influx of new Hosted Authors and the resignation of a Technical Support Team member, the Tech Support Team is looking for someone to join the team.

The ideal candidate will have experience working with html, experience in website design, will be someone who can work quickly and efficiently when designing new sites, will work as part of a team and will spare some time to work on other related projects.

If you are interested in applying to join the Tech Support Team and have the required skills and experience, please PM JSmith.
