Volunteers, &c. without whom we’d be nothing:
Fall 2011: Julie Day, Molly Seeley, David Mitchell, Dustin Buchinski, and Geoffrey Noble
For our intern program is we look for motivated self-starter-types for publishing internships. Our informal program features hands-on experience in book publishing and requires a commitment of 12 weeks (1 semester) of 5-10 hours per week in our office. This, sadly does not pay.
If you’d like to help here are a few less serious opportunities:
- We are always interested in website help.
- We could do with a few volunteer moderators for conversation threads and so on at Goodreads, LibraryThing, and any (almost) other site you can think of.
- We really enjoy fan videos.
- We have a full-size platen press in a dusty garage with no electricity. If this excites you and you want to work on it, contact us.
- We are always hoping for chefs, bakers, gardeners(!) and so on.
- We are seriously interested in more translations — especially of Angelica Gorodischer. However, we are monolingual (sorry) which makes the editorial process difficult. If you are a grad student looking for a translation project which may be of interest to us, we recommend Gorodischer’s Trafalgar and Prodiges.
Previously fantastic amounts of help were provided by:
Diane Kelly, Vanessa Scott, Gabrielle Mos, Ariel Franklin-Hudson, Gwyneth Merner, Caitlin Beck, Erik Gallant, Heidi Smith, Lauren Rile Smith, Julia Botero, Margaret Kinney, Katherine Duckett, Anna Katherine Sears, Danielle Baldassini, Kendell Diane Richmond, Leah Zander, Anna Brenner, Christian Desrosiers, Faune Albert, Sara Majka, Paul Bozzo, Felice Ling, Nicholas Miriello, Kristen Evans, Abram Thau, Samantha Guilbert, Cristi Jacques, Matthew Harrison, Su-Yee Lin, Hannah Goldstein.
