Opportunities
Literary Mama is an all-volunteer organization that brings mothers together through literature. Over the years, our staff has included women who are pregnant with their first child, women whose children have all reached adulthood, and women everywhere in between. We seek self-motivated, collegial collaborators who are comfortable communicating online and expanding the reach of our journal’s community. If you’re interested in joining us, contact us at lminfo (at) literarymama (dot) com.
Please note: These are volunteer positions. All work is conducted remotely, via internet. Strong communication skills are required.
