Poetry, flash fiction, short fiction and EVERYTHING ELSE. You will read and select submissions, propose authors to commission, discuss it all with the Chief and make the next issue happen. This will take up however much of your time you want to spend on it. We will discuss it and agree on something that works for everyone.
Nutshell is based in Hackney, London, so, ideally, that’s where we’ll meet. We do understand the modern world though, so working remotely from the sticks is also possible.
To volunteer email ‘nutshellmagazine @ gmail.com’ telling a bit about yourself, why you are desperate to give up some of your free time for this cause, what do you think this cause is, and what you think Nutshell looks for in terms of content.
You can also throw in favourite book, poem, film, food, historical moment, time of the day, place, podcast etc. if you think it will help explaining who you are, but be warned that any mention of the film Amelie will not be taken positively.
