I CANNOT WAIT for the Steamfest this year! It will be so much fun!

Comment by Nivatima AhlaSteam on December 26, 2012 at 1:23pm

IF you made it last year you can attest that it was a bigger event than ANY of us could of imagined!!! Can you believe that there was over 1200 people there?! It was surely hot enough to feel like that...WELP. We're coming back and we are changing locations (because we'd roast if it was at the Red Lion again...)

We're going to be at the Davis Conference Center in Layton Utah and are going to revamp the convention with a Steampunk "Tortuga" feel!!! Registration has opened BUT we are constantly adding new mini-events, contests, AND this year we will have THREE musical Steampunk bands to entertain you guys!

Want to keep up with what's going on? www.saltcitysteamfest.com 

It's live, it's ready...Welcome to the Oasis of Steam.

Nivatima Dimentia, you should write a modern steamer short-story of our adventures!  Beware of what you want!!!

Thanks, Niatima! I am glad somebody (besides me! HA!) enjoyed them. 

Go to http://exm.nr/QkRUi2 and it will take you through the application process. If you want to write your sample articles that they ask for in a word program first and then paste them in when asked that is sometimes easier. I believe they ask for 2, one on your topic, and the other can be anything.

 

They have weird standards for writing.For instance, they ask you to have section headings and have them in bold. They will tell you what is required, though, and if you are hired at first they have the editor on you every time, checking out your work, making suggestions. After you have been doing them "right" long enough they only check every once in awhile.

I hope you get in!  We SO need one. By the way, Salt Lake doesn't HAVE a Steampunk writer, so click "suggest a topic" on your application, then pull down Society and Culture under category, then write in Steampunk under Topics. Then you just continue with the application. When they ask for a referral put my whole name, BethAnn Mayberry. GOOD LUCK!!!

BethAnn: Loved the articles!! I wouldn't mind giving writing a try.

Venice: I'll keep my eyes and ears open hun!

Looking to my "network" and asking if anyone knows of any job openings.  I am experienced in administrative legal assistant, electro-mechanical and medical assembly, retail, any sewing and/or crafting related job and have schooling in interior design.  Any referral and/or reference would be appreciated!

So, a little shameless self-promotion. I finally found a way to slip Steampunk into my Exotic Pets column in the Examiner.  Check it out?

Salt City Steamfest attracts Steampunks to Utah, but what about their pets?  http://exm.nr/steampets1

Salt City Steamfest part 2: the League of Extraordinary Steampets http://exm.nr/steampets2

On a related note, I think The Salt Lake Examiner needs a Steampunk columnist. I would love to apply, but I just can't. If there is someone here with a talent for writing who is well-connected to the local Steampunk Community, please let me know and I will send them a reference. It pays little, but some, and it is fun.
