Wanted:
Full-time editorial position, anywhere but in the publishing industry. A position in an association would be nice, as long as I don't have to feign interest if it's a crappy association. Within 20 miles of my house would be great; within walking distance of a Metro stop would be even better. Position must not start before 10 a.m., and liberal holidays and leave should be provided. Must provide excellent health-care benefits, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and free parking if the Metro stop part isn't available. Casual dress code, unless I feel like getting fancy. Coworkers must be more than bearable; whistlers and absentminded-tappers are unacceptable. Meeting attendance should be voluntary, and meetings should be held to a bare minimum. If management doesn't actually have a clue what's going on within the organization, no attempt should be made to fake it. Furthermore, policies should apply companywide if they are to apply at all - none of this "management can still fly first-class" bullshit.
Job duties should include substantive editing and copy editing; no managing whatsoever. In fact, if things could just be put on my desk and then retrieved, we can just call that workflow management and be done with it.
Other stipulations as they come to me.
