Writers

Writing Department Chair, Deputy Chairs
The Writing Department leaders are generally responsible for updating Writers on deadlines, contacting any Writers who have not submitted in over 4 months, and onboarding new Writers. As a member of the administration they are not required to submit an article every 4 months, but it is strongly encouraged that they do.

Additionally, the Writing Department admin are responsible for bringing in Contributors (discussed below) and providing early reviews to anyone who is submitting for the first time. Early reviews should focus on developmental editing, working to improve the writing overall, rather than grammar and punctuation.

The Writing Department leaders are responsible for keeping track of Writer staff and organizing any required scheduling.

Writing Department Staff
Writer staff are responsible for creating original articles, short stories, flash fiction, or other types of written material for reader’s consumption within Worldbuilding Magazine. If accepted, Writers are expected to respond to their editors in a timely manner. We request that Writers submit new content every 4 months (every other issue). If you cannot meet that, contact the Writer leadership. We would rather have you on the team and contributing a small amount than not having you at all.

How to acquire this role:  Request it from the Writing Department Chair or Deputy and be prepared to share examples of your writing.

Writing Department Contributors
Contributors are temporary staff who gain access to the editing channel to discuss and collaborate with their editors. Contributors only develop on a per-issue basis, and lose the role after that issue releases. They are expected to respond to their editors in a timely manner.
