Strange Horizons is looking to add an additional social media editor and accessibility editor to our editorial collective. These roles will entail working in tandem with our existing social media and accessibility editors. 

Social Media Editor

Our social media editors’ brief is bifurcated into two (overlapping) roles: managing the Strange Horizons newsletter, and managing and expanding the zine’s social media presence. At present, we are looking for an editor interested in the first role (the newsletter). beyond this, our editorial collective is flat and anarchic, and beyond this basic brief, you will be free to define and understand your role as you see fit. If you love Strange Horizons, genre magazines, and getting SFF out to a broader audience, then you're who we are looking for!

We anticipate the time commitment to be a couple of hours a week, which will rise slightly during our annual fund-drive, in the month of June. The position, like the rest of our editorial positions, is volunteer.

To apply, please email gautam.strangehorizons@gmail.com with a brief paragraph about your interest in the position, what you envisage doing as Strange Horizons' social media editor, and any prior experience that you might have.


Accessibility Editor

Our accessibility editor is responsible for reading fiction and poetry (and, occasionally, non-fiction), and applying content warnings in accordance with the Strange Horizons’ policy. Prior experience in sensitivity reading, and work with/around content warnings, is a bonus.

We anticipate the time commitment to be a couple of hours a week, in rotation with our existing accessibility editor. 

To apply, please email gautam.strangehorizons@gmail.com with a brief paragraph about your interest in the position, and prior relevant experience, as mentioned above.

The garden is the resting place of your vulnerabilities; there’s a reason you’ve left them here instead of carrying them with you. Typically you enter hardened and hurried, beelining straight for the correct plot and quickly releasing whatever is clutched in your hand without a second thought—today, an attempted weaving of leather and lace, strength and suppleness that your body cannot figure out how to wear, nor your words to narrate.
If you say there are rats, I will believe you, though I don’t hear or see them.
A ruffling of branches as they resettle for the night. We dare not ask why they are here.
Spec Fic and the Politics of Identity 
As part of a collective of African writers who have created an Afrocentric Sauútiverse of five planets, two suns and a spirit moon, a world of science and fantasy, where there is no written language, we play with technology and sound magic to scrutinise the world as we know it, and use speculative fiction as a response to our world.
