Are you our next Guest Editor?
20 Jan 2008
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to plan and create your very own issue of Nursery Ed PLUS, Child Ed PLUS or Junior Ed PLUS and share it with readers all across the UK? The Scholastic Magazines Guest Editor programme, now in its fourth year, is offering you the chance to do just that!
What does it involve?
You will be invited to come to our offices in Leamington Spa for two days during the start of the summer holidays and then for a day in the Autumn half term. We will give you a unique insight into creating your chosen magazine and in return, we will ask you to help us plan the December ’08 issue. Don’t worry, you won’t be thrown in at the deep end; no previous publishing experience is required. We simply want to involve a teacher who is passionate about education and teaching – someone who wants to share their views and experience with a wider audience.
How do I apply?
Click on the relevant magazine cover (below), then simply email your details (name, school address and year group) along with an explanation of why you think you should be the next Guest Editor. The closing date for entries is 30th May 2008.
