Stasia has been our Tower Voice since November of 2009. She's done a phenomenal job keeping our news up to date on Facebook and Twitter and publishing new articles on the main page. She definitely deserves a break after almost two years in one position. Thanks for all your hard work, Stasia! :hug

Overview
The Tower Voice is responsible for maintaining our Facebook and Twitter accounts, both for posting relevant site news and ensuring that both social media outlets are used to help promote TarValon.Net. This position is also responsible for posting news content on the main site and for researching new social media outlets. This position involves a lot of public interaction with both our members and the Wheel of Time fan community at large. The Tower Voice reports to the Editor of the Tar Valon Times (Erin). Also, please note that this is a shared position (to help post news at all hours of the day). Loraella will still be our current Tower Voice, and the new Tower Voice will work closely with her.

Duties and Responsibilities
- Maintain our Facebook and Twitter feeds with relevant information (either announcements here or news from Tor and the WoT community)
- Research and implement new social media for TarValon.Net
- Work with the Graphics Development Team to have any necessary graphics for news (i.e. twitter backgrounds, images for articles on the main site, etc.)
- Write and post articles for the main site where appropriate, generally WoT news and major site news.
- Work with the Editor of the Tar Valon Times to ensure consistent news content
- Work with the External Marketing Coordinator to help us recruit new members

Requirements
- Must have been a member in good standing for at least six months
- Must be able to dedicate approximately 5 hours per week to this position
- Must be able to access the boards and Facebook/Twitter frequently. If you only check Site Announcements once a week, this position is not for you. If you're always online, perhaps you're a good fit. :P We need someone who will be able to post news promptly.
- Ideal candidate should be in a time zone other than GMT (to complement Loraella's schedule), but this is not absolutely necessary
- Be interested in WoT news and the community at large, whether that means you're also a member of Dragonmount, or you attend conferences, or you stalk Tor's Twitter account
- Familiarity with social media
- Good English and writing skills

If you are interested in this position, please email editor@tarvalon.net, marketing@tarvalon.net and keeper@tarvalon.net no later than Sunday, August 14. Please put APPLICATION - TOWER VOICE - TOWER NAME as the subject line. Please indicate how you meet the requirements above and why you are interested in the position.
