The Editor in need of help! (click)

New! We are looking for a new editor for Bollington Live!

Anthony Holland has done a great job and is embarking on his 18th issue (6 years). However, he has expressed his desire to hand over to new blood after the autumn 2012 issue.

The magazine is written and produced entirely by volunteers; a variable team of around 10 people who create three issues each year. We meet twice for each issue, about 1 hour each time, under the chairmanship of Kate Gooding. The editor's role is crucial to the production of an interesting and broad spread of articles. The editor works closely with Simon Nottage at the Bollington Printshop to put each issue together.

So if you would like to be part of this very popular magazine, with an opportunity to expand your experience and knowledge of modern publishing, please email the chairman, Kate Gooding, now! No prior knowledge of publishing technology is needed, though use of a PC/Mac and email is necessary.
