For most of this first year of Taproot's existence, I have been performing my publishing/layout/design/marketing duties two feet from where I sleep. Naturally, this arrangement has its advantages (a short commute and convenient nap space are just a couple) but the time has come for the magazine to grow up a little and that means a proper (small) office and a bit of help are in order. In particular, we need some regular help with customer service (answering phone calls, emails and the like) as well as help with the miscellaneous tasks that want doing but never seem to get done. Truth is, Amanda and I have more ideas than we have hours in the day (or days in the week) to move them along. As my wife Rachael forever reminds me, even if something doesn't seem like it will take any time at all, there are only so many five minutes in the day. If you're wondering, there are 288 five minutes, but that assumes no sleep. And I've decided I need to sleep.
This is where you come in. Do you live in Hardwick, VT or the surrounding area? Are you interested in being involved in our plan to take over the world, one garden, sewing machine and contemplative moment at a time? If so, e-mail me at jason@taprootmag.com and let's talk.
