Do you love reading the Tales of the Tablelands section of What's On? Do you have a passion for storytelling? We are looking for one or more skilled interviewers to contribute to this section from early 2025. You will need to visit interviewees, write a quality summary within our requirements including strict wordcount and style, obtain a photo, liase with the interviewee to check the final version, liase with editorial staff, and, importantly, meet deadlines! This column can be time consuming due to needing to arrange meetings and wait for final approval to print from the interviewee. Support is available from our current columnist, Kasey, and she encourages other young writers to apply! It may be possible that we engage more than one writer for these articles. Contact [email protected] for further information about this opportunity - include your contact details, experience and/or interest, and tell us about your involvement with the Tablelands community.
