About Sundress Publications
Sundress Publications is an entirely volunteer-run 501(c)3 nonprofit publishing collective founded in 2000 that hosts a variety of online journals and publishes chapbooks, full-length collections, and literary anthologies in both print and digital formats. Sundress also publishes the annual Best of the Net Anthology, celebrating the best work published online, and the Gone Dark Archives, preserving online journals that have reached the end of their run.

About the Internship
The editorial internship position will run from January to May, 2017 with a chance to be renewed for summer.

Interns will also be able to attend all workshops at the Sundress Academy for the Arts at cost.
