The Role
Soliloquies Anthology has opened our Co-Editors-in-Chief application period for the upcoming publication year (Approximately May 2026-May 2027):
We will be accepting two (2) successful candidates for this role. The Co-EICs will have the privilege of managing all aspects of the 31st publication run (issues 31.1 and 31.2) of Soliloquies Anthology. This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity with an approximate time commitment of 5-10 hours per week.
Tasks include, but are not limited to:
-Interviewing and hiring a masthead of approximately 15 volunteers to fill various roles for 2026/2027
-Delegating tasks and communicating team expectations throughout the year
-Establishing a unique vision for the journal’s events, print content, and visual aesthetics
-Building and maintaining a realistic annual timeline for the journal’s operations
-Coordinating two print editions within the school term (this includes writing submission guidelines, organizing decision meetings, compiling print content, organizing print timelines with the press, and more)
-Managing the annual budget (building a projected budget, tracking all expenses and revenue, soliciting additional funding, etc.)
-Planning fundraising initiatives to supplement budget constrains when necessary
-Organizing literary events, including two publication launches and two open mic readings. The Co-EICs are solely in charge of sourcing a venue, organizing readers, structuring the event, and all other necessary tasks.
-Handling any conflict which may arise among the masthead, authorship, or readership
-Collaborating with other publications and members of the literary community
-Upholding Soliloquies Anthology’s mandate and long literary legacy
Note that the above list is subject to change, as the nature of this role allows candidates to restructure parts of Soliloquies Anthology to align with their vision for the journal.
We are looking for applicants who are invested in literature and the publishing process, and who have a strong vision for the upcoming year that they’re willing to enact. Successful candidates will have demonstrated an understanding and competency for the tasks related to managing a publication. Qualities that we are particularly looking for include:
-A sense of leadership, and the ability to equitably manage a team of volunteers
-Strong time management skills
-Excellent attention for detail
-Administrative skills such as building spreadsheets, and planning operations
-Critical thinking skills (particularly the ability to problem-solve, and make challenging decisions)
-Demonstrable enthusiasm for literature and publishing
-Willingness to collaborate with team members and external organizations
-Overall commitment to the position regardless of compensation
