Dear Ed,

A recent job posting asked for a resume, clips, and a short critique of a story that’s appeared in their pub recently. What are they looking for in the critique?

Thanks,

Did You Know?

.. that all of the Ed staff, including Ed himself, are full-time magazine editors? And did you further know that everything that they do for Ed (and, duh, you) they do it out of the goodness of their hearts? (Read: no pay.) OK; Just had to clear that up.
