Editorial Services for Heritage New Zealand magazine

Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is tendering the contract for editor for our quarterly magazine Heritage New Zealand (ISSN 1175-9615). Experience is vital. This is not a hobby publication and the successful Tenderer will have to demonstrate a wealth of publishing experience and that they are a strategic thinker who can continue to build on successful developmental work done over the past few years.

It is a flagship publication for Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, sent around the country and to overseas readers (as a core membership benefit) and a smaller list of subscribers. Effort is being made to provide ‘value-added’, exclusive additional content for members with video, podcasts and additional imagery to support stories. We are expanding use of te reo Māori and the correct use of macrons is imperative.

The magazine includes some focus on our work, properties and successes, but it has a much wider focus on New Zealand and international heritage issues – both contemporary and historic. Heritage New Zealand magazine needs a professional, experienced, high energy person – or editorial team – who can continue to produce the high-quality product that we’ve come to expect, and work positively and collaboratively with Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga staff, stakeholders and contracted designer/art director.

Note that the design/art direction contract is also currently out for tender and providers who can supply both design and editorial services may provide a combined tender.
