What kinds of positions are available at Worn Journal?

Illustrators:

There are two illustration directions:

1. To go with articles: This will be the major use of illustration. Pretty self explanitory: do drawings to go with articles. These illustrators usually get a copy of the article and go from there. What we are most in need of is illustrators interesting in doing reserch, so that clothing illustrations are historically accurate.
2. Fashion spreads: Where an entire fashion story is illustrated, four pages usually.

Writers:

There are two kinds of writers:

1. Articles (features): the writer in conjuction with the editors come up with a topic to explore in detail for one single piece.
2. Columns: writers have a base topic they approach differently every issue.
3. Web profiles: a really good way to start working with Worn if you are new to writing or don’t have the time required for an indepth reserch-based article. These have so far been mostly in Montreal and Toronto, but you can write from anywere in the world! For this, contact the profiles editor directly - coco @ wornjournal.com.

note: most to all articles are accepted on a submission basis. Know that when you come up with a topic with an editor, and write the whole piece, you may be asked for revisions, or it may not be accepted at all. Please see submission guidelines.
