Since we began publication in 1979, there have been more new Presidents of the United States than new editors of Handwoven magazine ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Since we began publication in 1979, there have been more new Presidents of the United States than new editors of Handwoven magazine. Although this job doesn't come with a big white house or Secret Service detail, it does carry a substantial responsibility. We ask the editor to not only put together a beautiful, inspiring, and accurate magazine but also create exciting material for our website, stay active in the handweaving community, and even answer weaving questions from readers. All without so much as a private plane! The editor gets to shape the conversation about the community and craft; work with a group of bright, delightful contributors; and get paid to think about weaving all day. Maybe that's why the editor's seat is vacated so rarely.   Susan E. Horton accepted the role in the spring of 2017 and has been at the helm through the 45th anniversary issue, the founding of Long Thread Media, and the launch of our WIF library (to name just a few milestones). Susan has decided to retire from the role at the beginning of 2024. We will miss her keen editorial eye greatly—though with the very long magazine production cycle, we will feel her presence for several more issues yet.   Handwoven is in the midst of an intensive search for a new editor, but one thing that will not change is our unwavering dedication to providing a magazine, website, and community that feeds your love of the craft. We are excited to see where our next editor will take us.    If you'd like to know more about the position, or if you know someone (or are someone!) we should consider, check out the job description here. Sincerely, The Handwoven Team
