SFist seeks aurally-inclined, open-minded, and talented souls to steer our music voice. We are looking for writers with a strong interest in the local, national and worldwide (but mostly local) music/club scene. You should understand the difference between an actual story and PR-driven yarns and, of course, write a damn fine sentence. In addition, please be familiar with the local blogging scene. All the better if you have your own site.

While we can't compensate financially just yet, you will have the chance to build your resume, preview/review shows, hit the club scene hard, and interview your favorite musician(s). Incentives galore, too. We are looking for 3 - 4 items per week. You should be familiar with a variety of genres as well. (Sondheim won't bite, you know.)

Please send links to samples, five favorite acts, five favorite sites, and resume (optional) to editor[at]sfist[dot]com with "music writer position" in the subject line.

Please, please, please: No PDFs or phone calls. Thank you.
