The Iowa Review seeks three editorial interns for the 2019–2020 academic year. Interns will work 4 hours per week: 3 hours reading and 1 hour helping in the office. Duties will include reading and evaluating submissions to The Iowa Review in one of three genres (Fiction, Poetry, or Nonfiction) as well as office tasks as needed, including proofreading and social media. Interns will attend meetings of the reading group in their genre and read submissions primarily in that genre, although reading outside one’s own genre might be required at times. Weekly progress reports are required. Occasional attendance at outside events may be required. The wage will be $10/hour. Renewal of position for Spring semester is contingent on the intern’s successful completion of assigned tasks.
Applicants must be entering their junior or senior year and willing to manage their time commitments to meet the required number of hours working for TIR. Desired qualities include passion for and knowledge of contemporary literature, as well as administrative experience, social media familiarity, and a background or interest in creative writing and/or publishing. Please submit a cover letter, resume, writing sample, and contact information for two references, as well as indicate your first, second, and third choices of genre, when applying. Applicants who become finalists for the position will be given a test in which they are asked to read and evaluate sample submissions. Please note this position cannot be registered on your transcript as an internship as it is not 10 hours a week.
To apply, email iowa-review@uiowa.edu. The deadline is April 19.
