TVT Staff
This is a 6-month staff position within the Department of Marketing. In this position you will create content for the Tar Valon Times.

Are those of us currently writing for the TVT required to submit an application as well if we want to continue?

Does the TVT accept guest article submissions? For example, if I didn't want to commit to a position but might still have something interesting I could share? This is just theoretical as I have no ideas in mind at present, but might in the future.

We do! Since we've opened up the forum to the public (link is in my signature), we've received quite a few one-off articles that have upped the content quite a bit. It's always encouraged! You basically do the same thing as a Reporter, but on a smaller-scale, and I don't hound you. So... kind of a win-win if you only want to write one or two articles. :P
