Wanted!
Ideomancer is looking for two new junior editors for fiction only. Slush wrangler wannabes should be VERY familiar with our magazine and know the styles of fiction we publish. Our guidelines state: Ideomancer publishes science fiction, fantasy, horror, slipstream, and flash fiction. We are looking for stories that explore the edges of ideas, stories that subvert, refute and push the limits. We want unique pieces from authors willing to explore non-traditional narratives, take chances with tone, structure and execution, and take risks.
In addition to reading slush weekly (usually fewer than eight stories per week), you may be asked to work with a writer to help polish his/her work.
The position will require a 30-day commitment during an open reading period, at the end of which either of us (you or Amber/me) can opt out if we don't feel we're a good fit.
Please contact us via my publisher at ideomancer.com addy if you are interested in giving us a try. Tell us why you are interested in slushing for us in particular, and remember that our current editors' work is not eligible for publication in Ideomancer nor is this a paying position. We all do this gig out of love.
