The Fall Line Review seeks Reading Staf and two Editorial Staf: a Content/Managing Editor, and a Layout/Assistant/Art Editor for the 2017-2018

The Content/Managing Editor should have strong English and grammar skills, strong creative writing ability in fiction and/or poetry, a
dedication to literature, a willingness to work with faculty advisers, a commitment to deadlines, leadership skills, and (preferably) an A in a

Editor should submit a cover letter including name, contact info, and student ID number; indicating the editorship that the student is applying
for (you may apply for both); and briefly outlining the students best qualifications. Also include a creative writing sample of three to fifteen

a student has applied for the Content Editor position but doesnt get it, he or she may be asked to join the Reading Staf.
The Layout/Art Editor should have some background in graphic design and an interest in working with Adobe Illustrator or InDesign
(experience with these programs is preferred but not required as long as the student is willing to self-educate). This editor is responsible for

helping create or select the cover design, reviewing and correcting proofs, producing and publishing all publicity for the magazine, working
with the printers on prices and deadlines, and maintaining The Fall Line Review web site. Those applying for the Layout Editor should submit
a cover letter including name, contact info, and student ID number; indicating the editorship that the student is applying for (you may apply for
both); and briefly outlining the students best qualifications, as well as a portfolio of graphic work. Depending on the budget, this position

Reading Staf.
