Are you a self-proclaimed Jazz Aficionado or
just the World's Biggest Jazz Fan and just so happen to be a great writer as
well! Well if so, we would love to have you join our staff at JazzReview.com.
We never have enough writers or photographers to review all of the material we
receive, interview all the great jazz artists of today, or cover all the events
taking place all over the world.
Ours is a collaborative website supported by volunteer writers, editors, designers and programmers doing any
and all of the following: writing CD reviews, performing jazz artist
interviews, writing feature stories, writing jazz concert / festival reviews,
putting together artist bios or doing some of the behind the scenes programming
and design work. We are also open to any new ideas or features for the site.
The sky is the limit!
The only limiting factor in our organization is
the level of professionalism that we exhibit in our work. We expect top-notch
writing skills and do not tolerate poor grammar or spelling. We ask that our
writers proof and edit their own material before submitting it, seeing as we do
not have a full-time editor on staff.
We are very sorry that we are not
able to compensate you for your work, however because we are a low budget
operation and our advertising revenue does not cover all of our operational
costs, this is not possible. Nevertheless, for our United States staff writers,
as a small token of our appreciation, you will be able to keep all the CDs that
you review for our site. This is a nice way to build up quite an extensive jazz
CD collection. (Because of extreme postage costs, we are only able to send
review CDs to our U.S. writers)
To apply to JazzReview.com as a
volunteer free-lance staff member, please fill out our Staff Application form
at:
http://www.jazzreview.com/staff/join_form.html
Once your application is submitted, we will inform you of your status within 7
to 10 business days.
We would also ask that you submit a minimum 200
word writing sample for our review of your writing style. Feel free to use work
you have previously done. Your writing sample may be about any topic, however
topics related to jazz are preferable. Please submit your writing sample to
info@jazzreview.com
after filling out our online application form.
