A journal editor’s to-do list

This is the provisional to-do list for ESC, and is of course aside from my full time job & writing & novel editing. There’s two other people but we’re all busy. We really really so terribly badly need a web-savvy person to join the team. Sigh. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Issue 4 Launch

• Co-ordinate the hitch hiking road trip & filming thereof, & get places to stay on the way around Ireland
• Strategise Pinterest, Twitter & Facebook promotions of it
• Find blogs/websites to write a bit about on for the issue, and then write those pieces

Online Issues

• Continue participating on other publications’ issuu pages so that they come to check ESC out
• Do more InDesign tutorials
• Design mockup layouts for issues 1 & 2 of the online ESC zines
• Do them in InDesign and export to PDF
