We welcome your participation in the WTAW Press community.

 

WORK WITH WTAW

Our positions offer a great opportunity for those who want to get involved in publishing, or want to understand the operations of nonprofit organizations: students, recent graduates, aspiring writers, those who are changing careers, or those who seek to connect with writers and devote time to a literary life. Successful candidates will work closely with our director to gain or enhance hands-on experience and firsthand knowledge of the rewarding and challenging work of small press book publishing.

WTAW looks for candidates who are ambitious, curious, and detail-oriented; who possess excellent written, communication, and organizational skills; and who are excited about leaning into new opportunities with a willingness to embrace new challenges. We value proactive and positive attitudes; an interest in thinking creatively, collaboratively, and strategically; the ability to take initiative and to work well both independently and with others; and the capacity to juggle various deadlines.

Prior work experience in the literary arena or publishing is less important than the level of commitment and creativity applicants can bring to WTAW Press.

 

Unless otherwise specified, all positions are remote. While most positions are not salaried, those who complete the minimum contractual period will receive a modest financial payment. For those who are in school and eligible to receive credit for an internship, WTAW is glad to meet the requirements for your participation. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply. We consider applications on a rolling basis.

Open positions are posted on our Submittable page, where you can make your application.
