Plebeian – Call for Editors

We’re looking for Associate and Copy Editors for Volume VIII of our in-house research journal, Plebeian. This role is a valuable opportunity to hone your writing skills, build relationships with fellow Classicists, and gain insight into the world of academic publishing.

Associate Editor positions are open to all, but may be better suited for those who are in their Second Year or higher and have more writing experience. We recommend Copy Editor positions to those who are in their First Year of study and wish to get involved without too much editing responsibility.

§  Reading and ranking of all paper submissions
§  Giving input on editorial decisions presented to the Editing Team
§  Editing two papers with a partnered Editing Team member
§  Meeting with the authors of the two assigned papers at least once
§  Observing deadlines for returning drafts to Submitters
