Editor’s Notes for August 2000
Pilot-Search is
now 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.
