Volunteer Opportunity

OK, so this isn't quite self-promotion, but it IS a request for help, sort
of.  Anyone who did get a chance to check out Strange Horizons, there's a
position that needs to be filled that's not posted on the page yet.  I'm
sure everyone on the list has more on their plate than they want (like
me), but the staff and all are really cool and it's a great way to hear
about new speculative fiction authors, books, games, movies, anime, and
more.  True, it's not a paid position, but Strange Horizons is rapidly
becoming a prestigious publication, mentioned in many circles.  We are in
the running for the Hugos now, and I believe we recently got recognized by
a certain organization so that authors who get published in our magazine
counts for professional credits...  But it's a good opportunity!

There are 2 other extremely competent editors on staff who are showing no
signs of leaving in the near future, so you won't be on your own.  They
just need someone to take a small portion of the work off of them and
someone to fall back on during vacations or illness.
And if you have any other questions, I am in regular contact with one of
the editors, so just ask!

The Strange Horizons Reviews Department is looking for a reviews editor
with strong editing and interpersonal skills.  Editor will need to work
with reviewers to edit one or two reviews each month and will need to work
with other editors to evaluate submitted materials (both books for review
and reviews themselves), and to select books for review.  Willingness to
help in contacting publishers and authors expected.  Editor will have
opportunities to write occasional reviews. Editor must be good at meeting
deadlines and helping authors to meet them.
