Call for history editor for 2022 WORKSHOP

Post by Santa Claus »

This is an open call for a history editor for 2022 WORKSHOP, which is slated for Spring 2022. The set is intended to be 3 dots on the college quiz bowl calendar’s difficulty scale - for reference, please compare to the questions of 2021 WORKSHOP (either in the discussion forum or on the archive, once it’s clear) and recent iterations of ACF Regionals.

Chris Sims will be returning as a history editor, but we are seeking a second editor to assist with half of the distro. Our preference is that this second editor will cover American, ancient, and other history (2/2 worth), but this is not hard and fixed and we welcome people to apply who prefer either different distributions or different amounts.

Expectations

There are slated to be 13 packets of WORKSHOP, plus tiebreaker questions; editing 2/2 would thus be a total of at least 26/26. Additionally, WORKSHOP is a very mentorship-oriented project - editors are expected to both produce quality questions and give extensive feedback to writers. Please be aware that this may be more involved than a typical project.

Application process

If you are interested in this position, please contact pandasmoothie AT gmail.com and let me know what categories you are interested in editing for and any other information you feel would be relevant. We are asking that applicants provide a total of at least 1/1 original questions (i.e. one tossup and one bonus, written by you and never used for any other purpose) at the target difficulty and in the subcategories of history you are applying to edit for. In addition, we ask that applicants go through their provided questions and discuss in detail their choice of clues and the considerations that went into its construction.

If possible, please indicate the intended difficulty of your bonus parts (e.g. [10e], [10m], [10h]).
