Volunteer

Other Voices runs solely on volunteer hours.

Whether or not you have experience in writing and publishing, you are still eligible to volunteer. All you need is a few spare hours a week and an interest in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, visual art, promotions, PR or graphic design. Our volunteers work in all these areas of publishing.

Volunteer for OV and gain experience in copy editing and proofreading, production, distribution, promotion, event planning and more. Liven up your resume and learn more to benefit your own writing. Meet other people with the same interests as yourself. Not to mention, please the writing and publishing karma gods.

You will be asked to commit three to five hours a week, depending on where we are in the production process. Meetings are generally held once a month in the evening. While volunteers are not paid, you will receive a free subscription to the magazine as well as some OV swag every now and then, too!

Other Voices is currently looking for volunteers in the following departments:

- reading collective (poetry) - graphic design (layout)

- promotions

- event planning

If you are interested in volunteering with Other Voices, then fill out the application form and bring it with you to our next AGM or send it to with the word VOLUNTEER INQUIRY in the subject line.
