SONIC SLANG - JOBS

Current Job Openings

Sonic Slang is always looking for young, brilliant, music and culture-obsessed writers with nothing better to do with their time than blather on for our website. Below you will find the positions we currently seek to fill. Unfortunately, as an upstart webzine we are unable to pay for the hard work and dedication of our staffers, but this is a situation we very much hope to change over time. At any rate, all the wonderful perks of a career as an online journalist are applicable. Impress you friends. Get the girl. Strike a blow for freedom of speech everywhere. Work at Sonic Slang.

To apply for any of the below positions, please send an email to: [email protected] with the position title in the subject line. Remember, for those not looking for a steady position, we also accept freelance submissions on a continuing basis. See our Submissions page for an online form.

Artist Profilers: In this position you will write profiles of musicians, bands, and other cultural figures, particularly those under the mainstream radar. These pieces will typically include an interview with the artist in question, though this is not a requirement for every submission. An appropriate photo will also be expected. The Profile section will be updated a minimum of one time per week. Please submit a writing sample and resume with your application.

Copy Editor: This position will typically be given to a prospective contributing writer; in addition to whatever written materials they produce. Copy editors will check submitted materials for grammar, style, and consistency, before either sending them back to the writer for significant changes, or forwarding them on for publication. Typically, the position would only require 2-3 hours of work per week, but editors must be available consistently. Please submit a writing sample and resume with your application

Cartoonists: Aspiring artists, perhaps those who already run a web-based comic strip, who are looking for a larger audience are encourage to submit their work to Sonic Slang. Interested candidates should submit a sample strip, an example of artistic abilities, or a link to previously published materials.
