PaganPages Positions Available
Body: Merry Meet to all our Readers;
We would like to thank you all for your complements and love for our magazine. PaganPages started basically as a two man show, small ezine. It has now grown to include hundreds of subscribers, writers, and subscribing groups. Our hits in a month are into the tens of thousands. The email we receive is hard to control! Please, do not get me wrong, we LOVE it!! But the time has come to expand from a two man operation.
We are looking for volunteers to work for PaganPages. We would love to be able to pay, but as you all know, we are a free magazine for the pagan community. Many have told us it is time to start charging, however, we do not want to. Because there are no membership or subsciption fees (and never will be!), the money for web hosting comes from our own pockets, and making a new issue every month is from our own, personal time. So, unfortunately these jobs will be on a volunteer basis only. (It still looks good on a resume though!) This does not take away from the importance of the positions and the professionalism that is expected.
There are a few positions at PaganPages open for PR and for new columnists. Below are the available jobs and their descriptions. Below those are the columns that are available.
