Volunteer
Want to be a part of the best literary magazine online? Volunteer with Black Heart!
Black Heart is looking for Staff Readers to help out with the magazine. Forget internships: VOLUNTEER! Our fabulous, brilliant and good-looking volunteers are responsible for:
- Reading through our submissions in search of hot new writing;
- Writing kick-ass book reviews and recommending the best in indie literature;
- Interviewing the world’s coolest authors;
- And generally making Black Heart the best literary magazine you’ll ever read in digital format.
Volunteers can work at their own schedule from anywhere in the world, and those who make regular contributions will be granted official staff titles and bios on our masthead. Anyone with a deep and abiding love for independent literature and publishing will be considered.
Get Involved
To become one of our valued volunteers, send a brief email explaining your areas of expertise and interests to Black Heart editor Laura Roberts at laura [at] blackheartmagazine.com with the subject line “VOLUNTEER.”
Show us what you’ve got:
- Tell us whether you’re into poetry or short fiction, and
- Let us know your favorite books or authors so we can get to know you better!
Volunteer applications are welcome all year-round, just like our all-seasons submissions policy. Thanks for reading our site, and we look forward to working with you.
