Author
You think about things, maybe even post them on a blog. We can help you take those thoughts to the next level. What you write helps not only the current community, but also introduces new people to User Experience every day.
Post your ideas and gather feedback. The editorial staff selects ideas to become stories and finds you an editor to get the ball rolling.
Editor
Editors work with the authors to mold the raw materials into something beautiful. You find available stories that you find interesting, or see an author with whom you’d like to work. Sometimes you’re just polishing, and others you will help tease out the gold from the rock. Let us know you’re interested at comments at boxesandarrows dot com.
Copy Editor
An article is only as good as the language used in it. You guide the author and editor so that the article comes across with clarity, deftness, and length. Let us know you’re interested at comments at boxesandarrows dot com.
Production Editor
This is a new part of the production process here at Boxes and Arrows. Our authors and editors are amazing writers and communicators, but they could often use help making sure that the final article fulfills their vision. You help them craft the final article code to best illuminate the ideas within it. Let us know you’re interested at comments at boxesandarrows dot com.
