EDITORS WANTED
We're hiring!
Editors are the core of Cipher. As an editor, you’ll generally work with 1-2 writers at a time through the entire process of brainstorming, researching, drafting, and polishing a Cipher article. Your essential goal as an editor is to improve another person’s writing. We view editing as a collaborative process in which the editor helps the writer develop their vision, direction, voice, style, etc.

Go to: http://www.ciphermagazine.com/jobs for the application.

Send your questions and application to [email protected]

The application is due Monday, Oct 7th at noon.

Do you have an article idea you've been holding onto all year, waiting for the right time to write it? Well.... now is the time!

Submission entries for the last issue of the 2018-2019 year are due First Monday of block 7 (3/25) at 5PM.

To submit, you must send the following to [email protected] or [email protected]

1) A "preliminary draft" of your piece. This can be an excerpt of what you plan to write. We are looking for a minimum of 300 words of prose (i.e., not just an outline but actual writing). If you have a longer draft ready or other written material you want to include with your prose submission (such as an outline of the rest of your piece), you are welcome to do so!
2) The submission sheet, which has a few short questions about your article idea. This can be found online at
http://www.ciphermagazine.com/get-involved

Although meeting with an editor before submitting your idea is usual, it is ok if you haven't yet! Meetings can be coordinated after the deadline (first monday). The upcoming issue theme is "Lights Out," however your piece does not need to connect to the theme.
