Experiences

April 2021 - June 2023

Polyphony Lit presented me an opportunity in my late high school years to develop skills in literary editing and learn about the ever-important editor/writer relationship. In order to be a volunteer editor, I completed an online workshop called "How to Become a Literary Editor" (see certificate below).

I began as a Junior Editor and was quickly promoted to a Senior Editor. Some of my responsibilities included distributing editorial feedback on submissions of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, administering constructive feedback to junior editors, and monitoring submission completion and editorial team activity. I also advised team members regarding deadlines and group expectations/guidelines. 

Overall, I took great care in fostering strong writer-editor relationships within the staff, as illustrated by the magazine’s values and vision in writing.
