Welcome to All About Jazz Staff Message
I believe anyone with the confidence to step forward has something worthwhile to offer. At the same time, it's our responsibility to identify potential and provide volunteers with an opportunity to grow.
Once we’ve identified a good fit contributor, please use this email to welcome them to All About Jazz.
Hi, [First Name].
Welcome! I have cc'd Michael Ricci (publisher) and Ian Patterson (senior editor), so they are in the loop. Getting you started is a simple and speedy process...
Please read all the items in the three drop-down menus on the right-hand side of the page (General Guidelines, Style & Detail, Policy). They are straightforward and essential.
Please bookmark the Contributor Start Page—it will act as your portal to the website.
We are here to support you at all stages of your onboarding, so do not hesitate to raise any questions going forward.
Please be aware that Michael is in Philadelphia, Ian is in Ireland, other editors are elsewhere and there may be time differences between us. So there may be occasions when you have to wait overnight to get a reply from any one of us.
Meanwhile, a warm welcome to AAJ!
