Come Freelance for Open by risa
We’re building a board of contributing editors. Come on board and you can write about anything you like, it’s called Open after all, but the secret guiding scheme is this: collectively we’re writing toward a messy and many-headed theory of everything.
I think the most interesting theories don’t come from the academy, but are observations and bold claims made in daily life, transcribed and disseminated by systems like the academy. And I think theories develop by being talked about, looked at, and generally opened up. Something as complex as theory will only really be done well by by an open-source type system where contributing craftspeople challenge out eachother’s biases and bugs.
If you’re interested enough in writing for our audience, and in working on this with us, to mentally commit to making at least one contribution a week then you should send me (your editor in chief and benevolent dictator) an email with an introduction and maybe a few article ideas and a sample of your work. We’re looking for eye-opening perspectives and enjoyable writing styles.
We are not just looking for writers, though. We’d also like to be posting comics and other drawings and photography as well. But remember: we’re looking for contributing editors. People who can produce material regularly and who are interested in taking on a little more responsibility as the project evolves. If that’s not you, then just submit your brilliant work and don’t worry about applying for this uber elite, crime-fighting, madly-theorizing team.
In return for the brilliance and self-motivated labour of contributing editors we can offer a lifetime of fame and glory, the satisfaction of a job well-done, our collective literary and high-tech skills for whatever other projects you’d like to embark on, and 98% of the ad revenue generated by your posts. Right now, that’s not a lot. But there is money-making potential here for people who are willing to write up their thoughts and give it a shot.
The more good stuff we post, the more people will come, and get inspired by your big ideas, and also click on your ads.
So if you’re in, email your goods and an introduction to : risa @ open . touchbasic . com
Thanks, you rock.
Risa
