EDITORIAL TEAM
Hyphen is looking for credible, smart, bookish, overachieving, dusty- fingered, detailed-oriented and opinionated editors. Our editors are news junkies who are interested in social justice issues, politics and pop culture. There is no money involved, just the experience of working alongside the finest Asian American minds that community college ever produced.

We’re especially looking for editors to help coordinate coverage in the following areas:

Hyphen needs an editor who can take charge of our books, movies, music and literature sections and lead our coverage to where no Asian American magazine has gone before.

The FOB editor coordinates the fun, quirky features that open the magazine. We need an editor who can use style and humor to create a section that draws in readers.

Lazy Susan, part of Front of the Book, makes light of the absurd and the not so absurd in a series of tightly written stories. We need an editor who can tackle a broad range of topics and make them entertaining and enlightening.

We'd like an editor who can conceptualize and execute smart stories about Asian American cinema, whether it's movie trends, criticism or profiles of actors, directors and producers.

We need an Internet-savvy editor who can help transform the Hyphen website into the leading multimedia portal for Asian American news and information. We'd like an editor who is familiar with latest interactive, audio and video media. We'd also like someone who can work with other staff members to plan and execute multimedia projects and website updates.

Wordsmiths with a sense of style and substance are what we're looking for in a Hyphen copy editor. If you can shine copy like car wax and make headlines sing, we're looking for you. Previous copy editing experience and knowledge of AP style desired.

• Proven editing and professional journalism experience
• Able to snarl at bad copy and rewrite the lead five times — each one better than the last
• Basic copy editing skills (Knowledge of AP Style a plus)
• Loves to spell check
• Plans life around deadlines
• Can wear multiple hats and pick up the slack
• Post-identity politicked
• Down for the cause but not obsessed by it
• Not easily offended or dissuaded by hard-asses
• Loves culture, your momma and self (not in that order)

We’re looking for folks landlocked to the SF Bay Area (though special considerations are extended to those living elsewhere). Editor candidates should submit cover letter, resume and published work examples or links to Editor in Chief Harry Mok at harry(at)hyphenmagazine.com.

BLOGGERS
Hyphen bloggers need to be engaging, have a conversational writing style and an ability to write in our off-beat style. Hyphen bloggers must commit to posting 10 times per month on topics of interest to Asian America. Bloggers should posses an eye for lively features and accompanying visuals, have basic HTML editing skills and familiarity with AP style. Interested applicants should send a resume and two sample blog posts to Blog Editor Melanie Colburn at melanie(at)hyphenmagazine.com, and harry(at)hyphenmagazine.com.
