Doubleback Books Hiring Poetry Editor
Doubleback Books believes that out of print should not mean out of mind. Although other publishers rescue works that have fallen into the public domain from obscurity, few reprint books from small, independent presses that have folded during the twenty-first century and (often through no fault of their own) left new, exciting books to go out of print before their time. As an editor at Doubleback, you will have the opportunity to bring these books back into the world. The Doubleback Poetry Editor’s responsibilities will include reading manuscript submissions, soliciting submissions, editing manuscripts, as well as promotion of the press. Preferred (but not required) qualifications include: Previous editorial experience with a press or literary magazine; Graduate or undergraduate work in Creative Writing or English; Strong eye to proofreading. Please note that Doubleback Books and Sundress Publications are an entirely volunteer-run organization, so none of our editors are paid. To apply, please send a resume and a brief cover letter detailing your interest in the position to the Managing Editor, Melanie Jordan at jordan@sundresspublications.com. Applications are due by July 15, 2016.
