Theatre Annual Seeking Book Review Editor
Theatre Annual, the peer-reviewed journal of the American Theatre and Drama Society, seeks applications for the position of Book Review Editor.
The Book Review Editor is responsible for maintaining up-to-date lists of books available for review; fielding inquiries for reviews; commissioning reviews; editing reviews; coordinating with journal editor and press; meeting deadlines for publication; and establishing and maintaining relationships with book publishers.
The successful applicant will join the editorial team as associate Book Review Editor in November 2019 for the 2020 issue. The Book Review Editor’s term will begin in spring 2020, for the 2021 issue. The term is three years, with possibility for renewal. Though the application process is open to all interested individuals, it is expected that the Book Review Editor will maintain an ATDS membership in good standing for the duration of their term.
Applicants should send a CV and a brief statement of interest addressing relevant experience to Hillary Miller (hillary.miller@qc.cuny.edu), chair of the review committee and by October 31, 2019.
Theatre Annual is the oldest theatre periodical continuously published in the United States. It is dedicated to examining theatre and performance of the Americas. We construe “America” broadly to include North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean Islands. Articles may treat work in these geographic areas or work from these areas that is presented elsewhere in the world. We welcome articles on the history and ethnography of performance, drawing from such areas as theatre studies, performance studies, popular culture, music, anthropology, dance, communication, philosophy, folklore, history, and areas of interest that cross disciplinary lines.
Please find additional information on the Theatre Annual website: https://theatreannual.atds.org.
