Lickety Split smut zine seeks Distro and Sales Officer!!


Lickety Split smut zine is searching for an outgoing, organized and reliable volunteer to help bring us to the masses, over and over again! As our distro and sales officer, you will be responsible for assuring Lickety Split reaches our local and international audiences in a timely and professional manner, while continually keeping an eye out for new opportunities to promote the zine and its sex positive mandate. The ability to work autonomously and in collaboration with the Lickety Split team is a must and previous experience is an asset.

Primary Tasks and Responsibilities:

  • Liaise with consignment shops and wholesalers about sales and stock and check in with them periodically
  • Coordinate on-line sales (Etsy, Indyish) and update them in a timely fashion
  • Manage the subscription list
  • Organize and file invoices and receipts for mailing/distro expenses in an orderly fashion to create a clear paper trail
  • Manage mailings of stock in a timely fashion to consignment shops, wholesalers and on-line orders.
  • Coordinate volunteers to help with stocking consignment shops
  • Coordinate the distribution of one-sheets and promotional material to current and potential customers
  • Collaborate with LS on-line and PR team to promote new zines
  • Store and maintain stock in a responsible fashion

Note: this position, like other LS positions, has busy seasons and then less busy times (in between issues) as the demand for stock goes up and down.

Though this is currently an unpaid gig, refreshments, space and time will be available as well as major kudos, high fives and freebies along the way. People's knowledge of Lickety Split and its sex positive outlook is directly linked to the work of our distro and sales officer and this role is essential to fostering energy amongst the LS team, community and contributors!

For those of you who are interested in beefing up your resume, or have talent to share, please send a cover letter and your CV and get in contact with Sarah at sarah@licketysplitzine.com. What’s more, we’re happy to be approached by students who are interested in this position as an internship/Co-op opportunity.

The deadline to apply is September 30th, 5pm
. Lickety Split is an equal opportunity "employer" and members of traditionally disadvantaged groups are encouraged to apply.

Lickety Split is a pansexual smut zine dedicated to encouraging sex-positive expression and thought. The zine promotes collaborative art making and encourages diverse contributions to climb into bed with one another, because one sexual expression just does not satisfy. Lickety Split wants to help make the masses cum with smutty photography and art, essays and stories in order to fulfill the whole human being and address the complexity of sex.
