Editor’s Notes for September 2000
As we mentioned last month Pilot-Search is
accepting applications for Navigators in the following categories: (click a category to learn more)
These Navigators will be the "specialists" for their area on Pilot-Search. The
responsibilities are simple:
- Maintain and add links to your category. For instance, the Interviews Navigator
will need to find new interviews (at sites like The New York Times, GeorgeJr.com,
Salon.com, BlueMoonReview.com, and others) and add the interviews’ links
to the category, "Interviews."
- Write articles or other postings for PifMagazine.com on a pre-arranged
basis. (These articles will be paid for by the magazine.)
Benefits will include:
- Being a Navigator gives you the opportunity to become an online leader of people who share your interests. Articles and other postings give you a vehicle for your ideas and let you exchange information with your users.
- We manage the back end. You won’t have to worry about server space or any of the hassles of managing a site of links.
- Being a Navigator gives you the opportunity to become part of a tightly knit community. The Pif and Pilot-Search community exists online in the form of chats, bulletin boards, email, newsletters, and the sites themselves, and offline with regional events where Navigators, staff, and readers can meet and get to know one another. The members of this community are authors, poets, publishers, editors, agents, critics, and other sources of help within the writing world.
- Every Navigator has editorial and peer Mentors – people who can offer
guidance and support, answer your questions, and hook you up with other experts
in your field.
To find out more, contact Richard Luck at webmaster@pilot-search.com.
