Seeking Volunteer Editors: Typehouse Literary Magazine

Typehouse Positions Wanted for Issue 18, September 2019

Open Editorial Positions: 2-3 Prose Regular Submission Editors
For this call we are specifically looking for POC, Queer (including bi+, trans, ace, nonbinary, etc.), Disabled and/or Neurodivergent applicants only.

Editor Responsibilities
Regular submission readers (See description below.)
Edit selected submissions for print in the magazine
Proof finished magazine before going to print

All positions will run though the end of September 2019, and can then be continued for further reading periods to be decided each time. Sadly, this is a for the love of it project, as we are just now beginning to be able to pay contributors. However, letters of recommendation, summaries of work performed, and paperwork for using for college requirements are gladly provided.

Time commitment will vary, but is very part time. The first six weeks are a probationary period to ensure that it will be a good fit for everyone, and that keeping up with the responsibilities will work.

Guidelines for Submittable Submission Reading.
We use Submittable for our submission process. http://submittable.com/. It is very easy to use, and we will aid you in learning to maneuver it.

Regular Submission Readers:
Read submissions as they come in, starting with the oldest, and vote “Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe.” Number expected will vary depending on number of submissions, but will be a expected 10 per week, including voting on “Maybe” submissions. No feedback will be needed, although a brief sentence explaining a “Maybe” vote is useful.

Readers have a specified category (prose), however feel free to work in another category if you like. Responses will be tallied, and EIC will stay in contact.. Weeks off for travel or work can be arranged. All editors will be expected to help proof submissions as the end of the period in order to prepare the magazine for going to print.

If you are interested in this position send an email to:

typehouse(at) typehousemagazine(dot)com (Change (at) to @ and (dot) to . )

Include information on your experience with creative writing, publications, writer's groups, schooling, etc., and whether the time and reading period commitment required will work for you. While we do not require receipts, please just state that you fit into one of the specified categories, even if you would prefer not to specify which one.

We look forward to hearing from you!
