The Hinsdalean is looking for residents who are interested in joining its pool of community columnists.
Community columnists write once every seven or eight weeks during the school year over a period of two years. To apply, interested residents should email a sample column of 450 words along with ideas for three additional columns to [email protected] by July 17. The ideas don’t need to be extremely detailed, but they are a factor in the selection process.
Please include a name, address and cell number in the email. A very brief biography and a couple of sentences on what prompted the application also would be appreciated.
One of the open positions is reserved for a student writer, ideally a high school senior. (Moms and dads of talented writers, please encourage them to apply.)
Individuals seeking to publicize a business, nonprofit organization, political agenda or other cause need not apply. Nor should those wanting to write solely on a particular topic, like gardening or music. Elected officials and employees of public bodies are not eligible.
Questions? Send an email to editor Pam Lannom at [email protected].
