  • assisting Sundog in being a platform for artists to showcase their vital work while participating in the wider literary community.

  • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines

  • Promoting the magazine and its writers
  • Assisting in maintaining Sundog’s Facebook and Twitter feeds
  • Participating in web meetings with Sundog staff

 

To Apply
If interested, send a letter of interest, a C.V., and any relevant work or samples to SundogLit@gmail.com with “Fiction Editor” in the subject line by June 1.
