DEATH HUMS needs two interns based in or near SEATTLE

The DEATH HUMS reading series was founded by Amy Silbergeld in early 2011. DEATH HUMS began as part of The QAS, an arts showcase at Webster Hall in the East Village.

DEATH HUMS Magazine was co-founded by Amy Silbergeld and David Weisberg in 2011. The first issue, printed by BookMobile, featured cover art by Peter Wogstad and poetry by Joseph Lease, Sally Keith, Melissa Broder, Eileen Myles, Brenda Hillman, Elizabeth Bachinsky, and others, as well as full-color visual art.

The second issue of DEATH HUMS, featuring Lisa Robertson, Nick Flynn, Janey Smith, and others, will be the final print issue of DEATH HUMS. Additional issues of DEATH HUMS will be published electronically.

The DEATH HUMS reading series is now a bi-costal event that takes place in various venues. In addition to readings, DEATH HUMS has featured music and visual art at its events.

The DEATH HUMS staff is currently based in Brooklyn, NY, with remote editors in Seattle and Washington, D.C.. 

We are currently seeking two Seattle interns. 

Primary responsibilities will include distributing our final print issue, assisting Editor-in-Chief Amy Silbergeld and the rest of the DEATH HUMS staff in producing our forthcoming issues and curating our upcoming events.

Ideal candidates have strong organizational and communication skills and can commit to 6-10 hours per week of work. Two former interns now hold editorial positions at DEATH HUMS. Every member of the DEATH HUMS team is invited to offer creative input and start their own projects as part of DEATH HUMS. We encourage our staff and interns to focus on their own creative work. We strive to create a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, direct communication, and LOLs. We challenge our interns but attempt to create a joyful and energizing experience. 

Be cool, know how to get around, want to change the world. Must be internet savvy. Basic HTML a plus. 

Email a cover letter and resume or CV, plus links to your social media and samples of your writing and/or art and/or other to amy@deathhums.org
