The Torch – Now Expanding

As you might have noticed, we changed the name, design and layout of the guide. Apart from this obvious change we’re also expanding.

We are now looking for new writers, photographers and models. As you might or might not know, this guide is run entirely without profit and therefore we can’t offer much more than the experience. Izzie Morgan, chief editor, is an educated journalist and therefore this guide will be dealt with as a regular magazine, with schedules and deadlines, so keep that in mind before applying.

We’re looking for people of all ages, both RL and SL.

If you’re interested in one or more of the jobs or if you have any questions, contact KennieM Resident or Morphman Resident inworld (Send a note card Please, just found out that our IMs are capped) or send an email to IMSLSG@gmail.com
