What officer and board positions should a student-run magazine have?

My school previously had a club called The Calliope, which organized occasional writing events and published a compilation of submissions from students. Unfortunately, it fizzled out this year, but I’m eager to revive it next year. I want to maintain the tradition of a published book but transform it into more of a monthly student magazine. What roles do you think would be essential for its success?

  1. That sounds like a fantastic initiative! Bringing back the Calliope in a magazine format will provide an engaging platform for students to showcase their writing. Here are some officer and board positions you might consider for your student magazine:

    1. Editor-in-Chief: Responsible for overseeing the entire magazine, coordinating the team, and ensuring content quality.

    2. Managing Editor: Assists the Editor-in-Chief, manages deadlines, and helps with administrative tasks.

    3. Section Editors: Depending on the variety of content you want to include, you might have specific editors for different sections (e.g., Fiction, Poetry, Non-Fiction, Art/Photography).

    4. Copy Editor: Focuses on proofreading and editing submissions for grammar, style, and clarity.

    5. Layout and Design Editor: Manages the visual layout of the magazine, including design elements and formatting.

    6. Marketing and Outreach Coordinator: Handles promotion for the magazine, including social media, school announcements, and events to boost submissions and readership.

    7. Submissions Coordinator: Manages the process of receiving and organizing submissions, ensuring that all pieces are tracked and considered.

    8. Events Coordinator: Plans and organizes writing-related events (workshops, readings, launch parties) to engage the student body and promote the magazine.

    9. Treasurer: Manages any budget or funding for the magazine, handles expenses, and keeps financial records.

    10. Technical Specialist: If you’re creating an online version, this person could manage the website, blog, or digital format of the magazine.

    These roles should help create a structured team that can effectively manage the magazine while allowing for creativity and collaboration. Good luck, and I hope your efforts to bring back the Calliope are successful!
