The time has come! We are sufficiently big enough that we are in need of a little help in our day-to-day operations. All positions are volunteer. Read on if you’re interested in being a part of The Metaworker team.
SLUSH READERS
We’re currently searching for slush readers! If you’re interested, please fill out this form so that we can get to know you. Applications will close on Nov. 30, 2024 at 11:59pm PT.
Slush readers can be any age and located anywhere in the world. They must be able to dedicate at least 2 hours per week to reading submissions. Readers will be trained during the initial 3-month trial period. There will also be opportunities to interact and learn from the editors and fellow volunteers.
Readers are invited to join our Discord server, which is where we’ll communicate with you. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to email us!
INTERNS
All interns are remote, unpaid, and require 3-5 hours per week at minimum, with the opportunity to contribute additional hours or take on multiple internships if there is interest. (We can also offer school credit.) No previous experience is required, though it’s always welcome. (But seriously, if you want to learn, we’ll teach you.) Internships last 3 months to start, with the opportunity to extend if there is interest. All interns are required to attend at least two staff meetings per month.
All interns are welcome to attend our live podcast recording sessions on Discord. Unfortunately, we can’t offer you any other perks because we don’t get any ourselves, other than doing this for the love of it.
If you’re interested in applying to any of the internships listed below, send us an email with the intern title in the subject heading. Please include a resume, a short sample of work relevant to the position you are applying for (if applicable), and a cover letter that includes the following:
- A short bio about yourself
- Why are you interested in volunteering for The Metaworker?
- What do you hope to get out of interning with us?
- What is your favorite piece that we’ve published?
