It's that time again — Apartment Therapy is looking for a few bloggers to help us cover New York City and the metro area and bring their unique voice to our team. Do you love interior design, furniture and all things home-related? Would you like a place to share your ideas and inspirations with a large design-centric community? Think you would like to join the Apartment Therapy team? If this is you, jump below for the details:
This search is a little different than recent past searches — we're focusing in on New York City and are looking to dig deeper into the great design content, inspiration and access to products that our city has to offer.
Specifically, we're looking for someone who has a passion for home design and can turn that into (at the least) a daily post. Candidates should also be able to provide a weekly column that follows a specific "beat".
This is a part-time, paid, freelance position (1-2 posts per day) and it's great (but not required) if your other gigs plug you in to the design scene in some way.
REQUIREMENTS
• excellent camera skills and a good eye for stellar images
• a strong style sense
• blog-style writing skills
• a reliable computer
• a reliable high speed internet connection
• a decent (if not amazing) digital camera
• Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
• knowledge of how to use all these things

Thanks!

I've updated the form to remove the duplicate fields.

I now find that I have to go to NYC once every four months. It's a tough requirement, but somebody's got to do it. Wish I could apply, but I don't think once in four months is going to get the job done.
In the meantime, after I recently checked out the New Museum, I wandered around on Bowery and came across Maxsun Furnishings, at 200 Bowery Street. There was a beautiful true wicker chair in the window. I went in to ask the price, found that it was eminently reasonable and was sad that it was not practical to take it home. I was amazed to find a number of very desirable dining tables and chairs at very reasonable prices. Some of the tables, outdoor (or indoor) stainless steel cafe tables, have been listed at DWR at much higher prices.
Need someone in Austin? I was a very devoted (and pretty good) film photographer, just getting used to digital and various aspects of Photoshop.

I'm first in line whenever you want a correspondant in France. Interested ? How about an "International section" to start with ?

What about a Canadian blogger from Vancouver? *wink*

I love those business cards! Where would I go to order similar ones?

If you were to launch an international section – Sydney, Australia is also covered.

Don't suppose you'd like a London blogger?

Crossing my fingers that you extend the deadline by a few days; I'm away this weekend :-(

Am desperately trying to submit my form, but it isn't recognizing 10 out of 15 of my jpg's, and I can't figure out why....I've worked hard on this application, and I'd hate to be disqualified for a technical glitch! Anything to be done?

Please disregard my previous comment as I have a) chilled out and b) figured it out, not necessarily in that order.

this is one of my favorite blogs for design inspiration:

I'm sure Sarah would love to contribute to ApartmentTherapy. She's based in NYC and is a stylist and designer with exquisite taste. I think she could report on inspiring museum/design shows or retailers.

Hi,
I found this posting late yesterday evening and spent a good chunk of time filling everything out. I was finally done around 1am and hit submit. It looks like it went through, but I never got a confirmation from the site. I was just checking to see if it was received.
Thanks,
Camila
