Interested candidates should email their resume/CV and a brief cover letter focused on arts, literary, and editorial experience to editors@2035africa.org using "APPLICATION FOR EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP" as the heading. The application window stays open until the position is filled.

Why This Job Might Be a Good Fit
This role suits someone who reads contemporary African poetry closely and wants hands-on editorial experience rather than general content work. Because the intern works directly with the Managing Editor on interviews and anthology production, it builds a genuine editorial portfolio in literary publishing.
