The Pylon is searching for a qualified candidate to take on the role of Craft editor.

The Craft section strives to be the single Blacksburg and Virginia Tech community publication that combines the written word, music, visual, and video craft forms into a single digital hub. The section provides a local publishing opportunity for Virginia Tech students, alumni, faculty, staff, and members of the Blacksburg community. The Pylon aims to be a welcoming publication and aims to provide feedback and helpful critique to creatives whose work is not selected for publication, explaining why the particular piece was not selected in a rejection letter. Through this, the Craft section hopes to encourage revision and resubmission — setting The Pylon apart from discouraging submission processes elsewhere and providing editors with a better understanding of working behind the scenes at a literary and arts journal. The section aims to help contributors improve the quality of their work in order to see them live up to their full artistic potential.

The Craft editor reports to the managing editor and the editor-in-chief and is responsible for overseeing the Craft section and potentially working with a co-editor or a committee of Craft editors.
