We’re looking to fill two (unpaid) spots on escarp’s editorial panel in the next two weeks. The time commitment is rarely more than 2 hours a week.

The basics:
1.) editors must be able to receive submissions via SMS 24 hours a day.
2.) editors must be able to respond within 12 hours via SMS.
3.) editing is done collaboratively via group SMS; we don’t use the group for chatter but editors should expect SMS volume commensurate with a 5-person conversation.
4.) editors are required to have a Twitter account.

To request the (brief) application packet, send a DM to @escarp on Twitter with your email address. The application will consist of a brief written questionnaire and an interview via SMS. No resume/CV necessary. We’ll be accepting applications until midnight EDT, August 12th, 2011.

This is VQR’s blog post promoting the panel which, quite conveniently, has video/audio for all of the pieces featured in the panel. Watch them. Talk about them. Tell us what you think. We aren’t here to send you over to VQR for shits and giggles, but because we feel like innovative work and forms like this are of the utmost importance as experiments in how we can keep the world of A/V storytelling from leaving traditional modes (poems, short stories, non-fiction, novels) behind.
