Temporary Literary Editor

Job Description

The New Republic is looking for an experienced Temporary Literary Editor with expertise editing long-form criticism to join our team 25 hours a week for six months, from roughly mid-February to mid-August. 

For this part-time, remote position, the editor will be expected to commission and edit six pieces of between 1500 and 4,000 words per issue of the print magazine. The editor will be responsible for assigning a lively mix of articles about current books, movies, and TV that upholds TNR’s long tradition of bold, stylish, and intellectually substantive review-essays, and will work with the art director and photo director to illustrate the section, as well as with the production manager to create the section’s issue map. The editor will liaise with our poetry editor as necessary, and will participate in editorial and planning meetings with the rest of the editorial staff.
 
Annual salary will be commensurate with experience; the range is between $70,000 and $80,000. The New Republic is committed to diversity and encourages members of underrepresented communities to apply, including women, LGBTQ people, people of color, people with criminal records, veterans, and people with disabilities.
