We're looking for an assistant editor, and we were wondering if
you had any recommendations from VCU's School of Mass Communications.

The assistant editor will be leading the launch of a new women's magazine,
so we would prefer that the candidate be female. The position would be based
out of Charlottesville, Va. If you have any outstanding writers in your
program, we would love to talk more with them about this position. It's an
excellent opportunity for a young writer to lead a magazine that reaches a
quarter-million readers from Maryland to Georgia.

Thanks for any help you can offer. Feel free to call or email me with any
questions or ideas: 828-225-0868 or will@blueridgeoutdoors.com.
