Would you like to be a Playscapes correspondent?

Dear readers,
Playscapes is growing fast, and will transition to a new comprehensive website at the first of the year.  It's just a reflection, really, of the dramatic increase in attention to playground design since I started the blog nearly five years ago.  Then, I scraped and scrounged in the the far pages of google searches to find designs worthy of posting.  Now, I can hardly keep up!  (And yes, in answer to many questions, there is at last a Playscapes book under discussion, which is so exciting.) 

I'd like to invite you, my amazing readers, to join the effort to curate and highlight great play design.  As a Playscapes correspondent, you'll track sites, events, and organizations specific to your country or region.   You'll get your own byline here on the blog (which is approaching 100,000 page views a month), and yes, there is even pay involved!  Not alot, but enough to make it worth your while.  "The laborer is worthy of his hire" was a watchword of my upbringing, and I don't ask anyone but myself to work for free. 

If you're interested send me an email BY DECEMBER 4 (see the blog sidebar for my email address) with the following:

1.  Introduce yourself, and your interest in playgrounds, in a paragraph or so.
2.  Say what country or region you're in (could be more than a country, or less than a country!) and/or would be interested in covering.
3.  Let me know if you belong to any playground groups or organizations.  
4.  Tell me whether or not you are employed in the play industry in any way (it doesn't necessarily exclude you but I need to evaluate any potential conflicts of interest).
5.  Tell me some things you'd like to cover as a correspondent.

It's that simple.  Further details when you apply!  I'm excited about the next phase of Playscape's life, and look forward to making my readers a part of it...let me hear from you!

All best playground wishes,
Paige
