The selected author will need to be available for a full day of studio visits with the MFA artists in February and will be responsible for follow-up consultations with the artists and exhibition curator. An initial draft will be due to the curator and editor on March 28, with the final draft due on April 4. The candidate must be available via email during the editing process (the weeks of April 4 and 11). The selected author is expected to follow the BAMPFA Editorial Style Guide, which we will provide. BAMPFA retains final editorial and design approval rights on all published materials. The selected author will be paid a flat fee of $800 after the receipt and approval of the final draft.
To apply, please send a cover letter (including your area of research), your CV, and two essay excerpts or finished writing samples (no more that two pages each) to the exhibition curator Lauren O’Connell, lroconnell@berkeley.edu, by December 10, 2015.
