Does the thought of working on a magazine that covers all your favourite subjects fill you with tremulous excitement? Do you want to use your talents to tell the world about all that's best in science fiction, fantasy and horror?
If the answer is yes, then you may be who we're looking for.
Death Ray currently has two job vacancies for those who wish to boldly embark on a science fiction adventure. We're looking for people who have drive, who can operate alone and in a tight team environment, have excellent people and communication skills and strong creative talent. We're a young company as of the moment, and there are many avenues of opportunity lying ahead. Join us now and who knows where you may end up in five years: the upper stratosphere really is the limit. This is a very exciting time for Blackfish Publishing, and we'd like to share it with you.

Production Editor – Death Ray magazine
DESCRIPTION
We need a great production editor to join the Death Ray editorial team. We're looking for someone with a sharp eye for detail, fantastic organisational skills, and an ability to channel the energies of a highly creative group of people. Zero tolerance of deadline shirkers and a way with a big stick and a small carrot are desirable qualities.
Obviously, it helps if you have a passion for SF and its associated genres. This is not essential, but you will need to know the difference between a Romulan and a Vulcan – or at least have the ability to learn very fast indeed.
REQUIREMENTS
The ideal candidate will have at least one year's experience as a production editor, or two years' experience as a production assistant (or equivalent position) in print media.
