Apex Digest Online, a ezine of science fiction and horror, has been expanding its market presence lately, what with offering more pay-per-word for its accepted stories and increasing its staff. Now they’re looking to hire an editor (aka. minion) to help wade through the slush pile of submissions.
As they put it:
Submissions editors must commit to reading and responding to at least 20 short stories per week (max. length 7500 words, average is 3-5k) and offering commentary on stories selected by other editors. Payment is in gratitude, free books, and the power of wielding the rejection letter.
Since they’re an ezine, you can live pretty much anywhere in the world and still do this job. Could be fun. Could make you stay up late at night wondering how so many words could be arranged in such horrible combinations. Up for the challenge?
I see that smile.
