Art Director

After Midnight Literary Magazine seeks to amplify marginalized voices and create a literary space that prioritizes inclusivity and accessibility.

We are vehemently anti-generative AI and expect that anyone interested in joining us shares this sentiment.

The Art Director will:

• Seek submissions for cover art for each issue. We plan to publish four issues each year.
• Oversee submissions of art pieces that will be published alongside individual pieces of writing
• Seek public domain art that can be used as cover art or art for individual pieces

Skills we’re looking for:

• Comfortable using (or willing to learn how to use) email, Google Drive, and Discord
• Research experience and skill in navigating archives of art in the public domain (i.e. museums’ websites)
• Organizational and communication skills

Time commitment:

• This volunteer position has a time commitment of one hour a week. It is very flexible and mostly asynchronous, since our staff is spread out around the world.
• Our next reading period (for our second issue) is from Oct. 1 - Nov. 1, and we’d love to onboard someone who can commit to one hour a week in October, November, and December of this year. If you’re content in your role, we’d love to have you continue to work with us!

Who we're looking for:

• We expect that this position will be most attractive to graduate students who wish to pursue a career in media, research, publishing, and/ or library studies, but we welcome applications from folks of all walks of life.
• Motivated undergraduate students are welcome to apply, and we are happy to work with you to satisfy internship requirements.

We ask that interested applicants submit through this Form. Please email us at submissions@aftermidnightlitmag.com if you have any questions. Applications close September 15th.
