Help Wanted: Northwest Mountaineering Journal, 2008

 

The Northwest Mountaineering Journal is looking for volunteer editors to help us assemble our 2008 issue. The journal is published by a team of volunteers in collaboration with The Mountaineers.

 

The journal has been produced annually each summer since 2004. The American Alpine Club E-News has called it "One of the most beautiful electronic publications on the Internet." Past issues of the journal can be found here:

Editorial volunteers can contribute to the journal in a variety of ways. The team is flexible in how each volunteer contributes. Successful volunteers will have the following qualifications:

 

* Mountaineering background with experience in Northwest mountains.

 

* Good English language skills and attention to detail.

 

* Ability to interact well with contributors, especially by e-mail.

 

* Comfort working with computers and the Worldwide Web (or eagerness to learn).

 

* Willingness to contribute ideas and a few hours of time each month as part of a volunteer team. Most of the work of assembling the journal occurs between the March 31 submission deadline and publication in summer.

 

The Northwest Mountaineering Journal is a unique resource for the mountaineering community that contains material not found anywhere else. If you are interested in helping prepare the next journal, send me a private message through this bulletin board or send an e-mail to:

I'm gonna bump this above my last post in a different thread in this forum, so it's a bit more visible.

This call for volunteers generated a pretty good response, so we're no longer actively seeking new recruits. We're happy to hear from potential contributors, though, so feel free to send me a note if you'd like to help out in some way on the NWMJ.
