To apply, please submit a brief letter of interest and a sample of your writing, 12 pt type, double spaced, and no more than 7 pages in length.  Make sure you include your name, address, home and work telephone numbers, and email address for notification.  Application materials will not be returned, but will be recycled once the selection process is completed.  Applications must be received at the following address by close of business on Tuesday, 7 January 2014.
