If you live in the North Fulton area, Cherokee County or Forsyth County, the AJC is looking for a writer to join the rotation of columnists on Sunday’s County by county section. The new columnist should be engaged in his/her community and be willing to write about people and issues that resonate in northern suburbs of metro Atlanta.

Applicants can send a short resume along with three samples of columns (about 400 words) that focus on their communities to bhoward@ajc.com. The deadline is Jan. 9.
