When asked for advice, I always tell writers that one of the best things they can do is read lots of slush. Well, I just told this to someone recently, and he reasonably asked: Do you know of anyone who needs a slush reader? As it happens, I don’t, but perhaps someone out there does.

So how about it? Does anyone have need of a slush reader?

UPDATE: Actually, if you’re interested in *becoming* a slush reader, feel free to comment or email me also. I’ll play Slush Cupid for all, since I am kind of doing that anyway.

UPDATE 2: Okay, so it seems like I’m just making myself kind of a middleman here, receiving emails which I then forward to interested parties. How about I just post a note for whatever magazines are looking for readers? That way anyone who’s interested can contact them directly. I mean, unless I know you personally, what’s the point of involving me in this process? I’m happy to play Slush Cupid, but that’s probably more easily accomplished by just posting a notice about the open positions, wouldn’t you all agree?
