For all applied positions, please make the subject “em Magazine - DESIRED POSITION.” Please attach any samples, resumes, or additional materials as a .doc or .docx, rather than a .pdf.

Writing Positions: All writer applicants are required to submit a one-page maximum detailed cover letter explaining why you want to be a part of em Magazine and why you want your applied section; a resume with relevant experience; two writing samples; and any additional material that you believe shows your voice and experience

This person should have an interest and talent for interviewing. 
• Looks Section (3): This person should not only be a great writer with a strong voice, but also knowledgeable about the fashion industry, trends, and designers. They should be able to provide authoritative commentary on the fashion world and be aware of how to write about fashion and design in a way that goes beyond the trends and focuses on the way in which style influences the world around us. This position is more of a time commitment, as the writer will be required to attend photoshoots to learn more about the clothing they will be writing about. This section is also looking for one writer with an interest and knowledge in the health and fitness field.
• Relationships Section (4-5): This person should have an understanding that articles in this section look beyond the surface of basic relationship writing. We’re looking for writers with a strong personal voice who will be able to offer material that reflects their own voice, but also the voice of em Magazine. This person should have experience with college relationships and should be able to provide a refreshing and witty take. In addition, this person should be comfortable and experienced in interviewing people on personal subjects. We’re looking for outgoing individuals who do not have qualms asking personal questions.

Ideal applicants should have an understanding of what magazine feature writing is, in contrast to newspaper.
• Entertainment Section (1): We’re looking for writers who have an understanding and interest in pop culture. It’s important that this writer is aware of more than just what is “hot” at the moment, but is able to predict growing trends in entertainment. We’re looking for writers who have a specific area of interest and are able to speak authoritatively and critically on that interest. More than any other section, it is important that this writer is comfortable with forming their own voice and using pop culture topics as a way to discuss greater societal themes.
