Jobs
Mackintosh Journal Editor
Organisation: Mackintosh Queen’s Cross
Salary: Honorarium
Location: Freelance
Do you seek a freelance art world editorial role? If so, this could be an opportunity for you.
The C R Mackintosh Society, a registered charity and a leading heritage organisation in Glasgow, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023.
You would be working with architecture and applied art in Glasgow and beyond, primarily around 1900, specifically in relation to C R Mackintosh and his circle. You need sensitivity to language and style, attention to detail to ensure consistency and accuracy and an ability to work to deadlines. Authors and content are identified, deadlines specified, house style guidance determined, and all contributors briefed during the autumn. The Editor’s intensive work in the January to March period lies in the preparation of the content, edited with the support of the sub-committee members, for the designer. Keeping to this timetable is vital.
The Journal’s readership is seriously interested but non-academic and all contributors are encouraged to write accessibly with a minimum of academic jargon and footnotes. Content includes short articles, reviews, interviews, reports on buildings, campaigns and Society activities. The Society has its own image bank, but contributors are responsible for sourcing other hi-res images and clearing copyright.
Application Deadline: Thursday 31/07/2025
