Responsibilities include:

• Proofreading blog content for Perigee and posting it to WordPress;
• Mailing copies of Apogee to contributors, reviewers, and subscribers;
• Establishing connections with bookstores in NYC to sell Apogee;
• Tracking inventory of print issues;
• Building opportunities for reviews and interviews by connecting with like-minded organizations and individuals over e-mail;
• Copyediting/proofreading content for print issues.

• Familiarity with Google Docs and Dropbox;
• Basic knowledge of WordPress;
• Strong communication skills;
