Internship Opportunity: Oyster River Pages

Now in its second year, the Oyster River Pages (ORP) Internship is designed for individuals wanting to explore independent publishing, and who align themselves with the values and creative expressions that the journal embodies. ORP seeks to promote underrepresented voices in publication, believing that fostering diversity is the key to a more productive and compassionate society. Interested applicants should be well-versed in one of ORP's genres (poetry, creative non-fiction, fiction, visual art) and should be able to devote approximately ten hours per month to ORP work from January–September 2019. In exchange, interns will receive ten hours of editorial guidance and mentoring over the course of those months.

ORP publishes voices that speak to what it means to be alive in this world. We look for language and stories and images that move us out of ourselves and into other spaces. We embrace the reality that the personal has become the political. We seek to publish those who bring balance and diversity to historical institutions of power. We are committed to disseminating the voices of those who need to and must be heard—decentered and marginalized voices—whose words and images transcend ignorance and prejudice to reveal the nuanced, resilient, connective power of humanity.
