Sinister Wisdom is a non-profit organization that is run and staffed entirely by volunteers. Do you want to join us and make a valuable contribution to nurturing and sustaining Sinister Wisdom as a vibrant multicultural journal of lesbian literature and art? Here are some projects at Sinister Wisdom looking for talented volunteers.

Internships

Interested in working closely with the Sinister Wisdom co-editor to build the infrastructure of the journal? Sinister Wisdom works with 3-10 interns each semester to work in our Florida offices or remotely. Interns work on a range of projects including compiling, editing, and finalizing issues, building a Sinister Wisdom database, spiffing up our website, and other tasks. All internships require weekly group meetings; the most successful internships are when people can work 2-3 hours a day for 3-4 days a week. Join us for a semester of fun! Email Julie R. Enszer with your resume for consideration.

Guest Editors

Interested in editing a special, thematic issue of Sinister Wisdom? Guest editors solicit, assemble, select, edit, and proof-read an issue of Sinister Wisdom. Guest editors may work on a full issue of Sinister Wisdom (120 pages) or a special dossier (20-75 pages). Email the editor with ideas and proposals for guest editing an issue.
