Positions Open

Join our team! Vita Poetica is seeking a colleague for the volunteer position of Contemplative Practices Editor. We are a small nonprofit organization with a mission to connect artists of faith and enliven spiritual conversations through the arts. Individuals with a heart for building community and a desire to engage more deeply with the arts are especially encouraged to get in touch.

The position entails a commitment of 6-8 hours per month, with some months being busier than others. Currently, editor positions receive a stipend of $50 each quarter as a small token of our appreciation. There is potential for increase as our organization develops. All positions require familiarity with our mission and with our quarterly online journal, which publishes work at the intersection of art, faith, and spirit. 

Please note that editors are ineligible for the publication of their creative work in the journal but are welcome to contribute interviews, reviews, and contemplative practices in conjunction with the respective section editors.

The Contemplative Practices Editor manages our journal's unique section that blends creativity and contemplation in guided meditations. This includes developing contacts and seeking qualified contributors in a variety of creative disciplines and contemplative / spiritual backgrounds. Strong communication skills preferred, as the editor will work with contributors to develop ideas and will edit the pieces for a fitting tone and style.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until filled. Those interested should submit, via Submittable, a resume and cover letter introducing themselves and sharing why the position appeals to them. The application process requires a free Submittable account. If you need any help with the process, please email hello@vitapoetica.org.
