    Just received via e-mail from Lawrence Bush, editor of Jewish Currents:

    For the “Concealed/Revealed” column in the Winter, 2010 issue of Jewish Currents, we are seeking essays of up to 300 words on the theme of “Darkness.” These should focus on personal experiences that have been transformative, provocative, or just plain unforgettable. Names can be withheld upon request. The theme is inspired by Hanuka, the darkest time of the year, but has many, many meanings. Essays should be submitted to lawrencebush(at)earthlink(dot)net or mailed to POB 111, Accord, NY 12404. Deadline: November 10.

    NB: When I’ve inquired in the past, I’ve been told that these are nonpaying publication opportunities.

    “Moment Magazine seeks an experienced features editor. This editor works closely and collaboratively with other editors and writers to steer Moment’s inventive, well-researched and descriptive articles from story ideas to print. Past articles include a profile of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, the first in a ground-breaking series on Israel’s Arab citizens, a letter from Burma and the 2010 Symposium featuring Mel Brooks, Leonard Nimoy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and many more. The perfect candidate will be a well-rounded, inquisitive, patient, friendly individual who will work tirelessly to turn good ideas into great stories and do much more in our small office. Four-six years of magazine experience. Knowledge of Jewish/Middle East politics, culture, history and religion is helpful. Moment Magazine is a national independent publication of Jewish politics, religion and culture co-founded in 1975 by Elie Wiesel and Leonard Fein. This is a wonderful opportunity to join the team of a magazine Slate calls a ‘must read.’ Salary is competitive with other nonprofit publications and commensurate with experience.” More info/application instructions here.
