Tits-up mode

[ciphergoth]

Just had the official word - convergence has indeed gone tits-up.

Anybody got a job?

Coming to London this weekend, so maybe see some of you then. Unless Lisa's not well in which case we'll probably just stay in the house and fuck all weekend.

How awful honey, I'm really sorry to hear it. Still, you're incredibly talented in a number of ways and you'll be sorted again soon I'm sure. In the mean time, I'm sure we'll find ways to cheer you up.

Sadly, the only jobs I can give out at the moment are for for freelance subs.

Lots of love,

question

So what does a freelance sub actually do, then? I suppose I've always kind of assumed that any sort of editorial work would be entirely in-house.

They sub for money...

Really a freelancer might do almost anything that a staff production person might: edit, rewrite, do headlines and sells, design and lay out pages, proof pages, sort out images and photos. The only real excepton is that they don?t tend to commission.

On many mags lots of the editorial and writing work is done by freelancers, with the title having a very small number of permanent staff and a large family of freelances who they call on as needed. Sometimes sections of a mag or supplements will be farmed out entirely to freelances who may work from home.

Love,

Soph (chief sub) xxx

Yes, we were going to talk about this weren't we? Would you be able to give me an email about it?
