open editorial positions
readers
We’re looking for readers to read across all genres. If you’d like to stick to one genre primarily, let us know, but we’d love to find some folks willing to read all genres in our general submissions. Readers will provide thoughtful comments on whether or not each piece seems like a good fit for Press Pause and vote on each submission. Readers are our backbone. We don’t publish any submission that hasn’t received support from at least three of us (ie at least a “maybe”), and we almost never publish anything that has been voted down by any single one of us. That means that if you read for Press Pause, your opinion really counts.
family room readers
We’re looking for some folks to help us out with our featured department, The Family Room. Fam Room editors will read submissions to the Family Room in various departments and provide thoughtful comments on whether or not each piece seems like a good fit for Press Pause. The Fam Room editors will recommend work for publication and solicit writers they think could be a good fit for various departments. Fam Room editors may also pitch ideas for new departments.
