We’re looking for more people to join our team of bloggers.
Bloggers post once a week or more, keep up with what’s happening on the blog and contribute to discussions in comments. Like all other positions with our volunteer-run magazine, blogging is unpaid.
We are also looking for someone to take over our Film Friday column. Like our Comics are for Everybody and Wired Wednesday columns, Shameless Film Fridays look at films from a feminist perspective, or highlight films that deserve the attention of our readers.
Have another idea for a column you want to pitch to us? We’d love to hear about it.
Ideal candidates will:
1) understand and be passionate about the values of Shameless
Magazine.
2) have some familiarity with online writing and the feminist (or progressive) blogosphere
3) have some experience as a writer or blogger
4) have some interest in and knowledge of our broad array of topics
including politics, pop culture, independent arts, reproductive rights, gender and sexuality, violence against women, media criticism, size acceptance, and the intersectionality of feminism with race, class, sexuality and ability.
To apply, send a cover letter and two examples of things you would blog about (one of which should be written up as a sample post) to Cate Simpson (webeditor@shamelessmag.com).
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 19, 2008.

I tried to find the info, but couldn't... Is this open to men as well, or women only? I'm totally cool either way, but I thought I'd find out before I chose to apply or not! :P

Oh, shoot. Never mind. Of course, yet again, I make a fool of myself before looking into EVERYTHING. I see there are men in your list of bloggers.

I would be interested in this. I have a sexuality blog that is for everybody (over 18). I write most of the articles myself, although I do have a lot of re-prints (with permission). I don't post every week (now), but do try to. There is enough information on my blog to keep a person busy for a long time. I have some drop down menus that make it easy to find the best articles on my blog. I'm gonna look around your site to find the application, if you don't hear from me, please send me the info as to where I can find the application. Thank You,
~Jenna

I'm with Cecelia in asking if bloggers on Canada's premier feminist blog have to be Canadian?

You don't have to be, but we will give preference to Canadians.

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
