ENIGMA is looking for motivated individuals with excellent proof-reading and copy-editing skills, who are organised and dedicated to a high standard of creative writing.

The roles we are looking to be filled:

Editors

This is a 3 hour (maximum but often less) a week position, in which the primary responsibility will be to work alongside the Head Editors and Journal Director to edit submissions and prepare them for online and print publication.

We are looking for editors for

  • Poetry

  • Fiction

  • Non-fiction

  • Script

Feel free to apply to be an editor for more than one section; no editorial experience is needed, just an eye for detail, organisational skills and a love for that type of writing.

Head Editors

We are looking for a

  • Head of Poetry

  • Head of Fiction

  • Head of Non-fiction

  • Head of Script

This role will require very good communication skills, as it will involve allocating submissions to the editors in your section, and making any final calls on edits or style before the piece is published on the website.

The Head Editors will also be asked to help prepare and edit the print version of the journal in Spring/Summer.

Print Director

We are looking for an individual to oversee the design of the print journal, including curating content and visual contributions. The Print Director will work alongside the Journal Director to coordinate the publication of the print journal as well as its distribution.

The majority of the Print Director’s work will take place around March-May.

Social Media Manager

We are looking for up to two individuals to promote publications and Enigma-related events on Facebook and Instagram, involving the design of Instagram posts on Canva to create a distinct image for Enigma.
