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. The editorial intern’s responsibilities can include writing press releases, composing blogs, proofreading manuscripts, helping to run social media sites (Facebook, WordPress, etc.), collating editorial data, and more.
