HAPPY SEPTEMBER! We’re back for our 12th year sharing amazing stories and poetry with the CommuterLit community.
We’ve grown a lot over the decade. Submissions have more than tripled, and it takes the editor longer to get back to people.
To shorten our submissions response time and get through the backlog, CommuterLit is looking for three volunteer submission readers, one preferably based in Canada and one a poet.
No, you won’t get paid, but it is a good opportunity to learn more about the editor’s decision making process, and to hone your own critique skills. As well, space on the site will occasionally be given over to showcase the volunteers’ work.
Interested? Email the editor and tell her a little bit about yourself, your writing practice and where you are based. The time commitment is one to two hours a week
Looking for a critique group?
There’s a spot opened in our Monday evening online critique group, which meets the second Monday, 7-9 pm EDT from September to June. Read more about the CommuterLit Writing Circles.
Monthly meetings start next week; zoom links will be sent out to members the day before.
