The Tar Valon Times is seeking staff!

The Department of Marketing is looking for new reporters to create content for the Tar Valon Times from July 2011 until December 2011.

So come on! Apply!

TVT Staff
This is a 6 month staff position within the Department of Marketing. In this position you will create content for the Tar Valon Times. Said content can come in a variety of different media, such as articles, regular columns, or art, limited only by your own creativity and the rules and regulations of TarValon.Net.

Job Specifics:

It may be an excerpt or a full article/paper, an essay you've written for school, art you have created, or projects you have worked on. Remember that however much is submitted and in whichever form, it will be used to judge your capability as a reporter for the Tar Valon Times.

Hey Erin Sedai, is it ok if we want to write but have no ideas (at the moment anyway)?

Three more days to send in applications, people! Hopefully Google didn't hiccup on anymore in the meantime. :P

Is it possible to submit random writing or art sometimes but not be a member of the staff? I'd love to contribute sometime, but I'm horrible with deadlines and I wouldn't want to let you down.

Yes, it's totally acceptable to contribute as a guest. :pleased-1: I've done it for the past couple months, and I hear you on the deadline thing.

I may submit the odd article as a guest too. The nature of my work means that I don't have what you would call a regular work pattern. Also makes it hard to commit to deadlines.

Just email editor@tarvalon.net if you decide to do this!
