Job Description

The University of Nevada, Reno is hiring for a Zine Editor for the Brushfire journal. It is a lower level management position that involves design, planning and handling all concerns with the Loose Leaf Zine. During the course of the academic year the journal will release 2 journals and 4 art-zines. The main priority of the Zine Editor is to ensure the art-zines are released on time; all deadlines must be met to complete this task. This involves designing and planning a zine workshop to collect art for each zine issue, designing the zine layout with the appropriate information and consulting with the Editor-in-Chief prior to printing the final draft for production, and ensure the timely release of four zine issues (2/semester) per year . Due to the nature of the position, proficiency with Adobe Photoshop and InDesign software is preferred. Brushfire’s Loose Leaf Zine is produced in-house; this is a crucial part of the Zine Editor’s job. This involves designating a time and place for zine production, as well as making appropriate preparations that will be more thoroughly covered during training. All staff members are required to attend weekly meetings in which progress updates, announcements and challenges will be discussed.
