2024 ACF Winter Editor Applications

[ACF Announcements]

ACF is now accepting applications for subject editors for 2024 ACF Winter, head edited by Chris Sims (tournament date TBC, early-mid November). We are moving the Fall and Winter production timeline earlier this year. Regionals applications will open in the early summer.

Successful applicants should expect to begin work on the tournament in April, and continue the process steadily throughout the summer. Our projected timeline is to have a substantial fraction of the tournament written by early September to avoid a last-minute rush in the weeks leading up to the tournament.

ACF aims to assemble teams of enthusiastic editors with a diverse set of backgrounds, and highly encourages all those interested to apply. ACF also encourages you to share this application with anyone you believe is qualified. We aim to build an editing team with a mixture of highly experienced editors and talented writers who are looking to gain their first editing experience; ACF Winter is an good way to try editing for the first time, ideally after having some experience writing, so don't feel shy about applying, even if you've only worked on one or two sets before!

Applications require:

- a brief description of writing/editing experience
- an indication of category preferences
- at least five sample questions (at least two of which must be original for this submission)
- an explanation of your writing process for one tossup and one bonus
- at least one reference

Interested candidates can apply here: 2024 Winter Editor Application.

ACF may reach out to candidates who apply to one tournament if ACF deems they are a better fit for a different tournament's editing team; however, to guarantee you will be considered for a given tournament's editing team, you must fill out that tournament's application. All applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, April 7, 2024. Please do get in touch with any questions ([email protected])!
