Reading Coordinator, Poets in Pajamas
Deadline: July 10, 2026
Poets in Pajamas is a Sundress Publications reading series and the first ever entirely online reading series. Founded in 2017, Poets in Pajamas is a free, online reading series run through Zoom that connects readers and writers across the world from the comfort of their own pajamas. Readings take place at 7PM EST on the third Sunday of each month and can be found on our YouTube page.
The Poets in Pajamas Coordinator is responsible for curating and leading monthly, online reading series. Coordinators should expect to work on press releases, graphics, communications with readers, editorial curation, and engaging with readers during events. Alongside strong communication skills, this position requires a passion for poetry and making poetry readings comfortable and accessible to all.
Qualifications for the position include:
- Experience with Zoom, Canva, and the Google Suite
- Experience with WordPress a plus
- Strong written communication skills
- Knowledge of contemporary literature
Applicants are welcome to telecommunicate and therefore are not restricted to living in any particular location. We are especially interested in applications from writers of color, transgender and nonbinary writers, and writers with disabilities.
Sundress Publications is staffed entirely by passionate volunteers, so this position, as with all positions at the press, is unpaid, though occasionally there is grant funding for our coordinators.
To apply, please send a CV and a brief cover letter detailing your interest in the position to our Hiring Manager, Katie Collins, at sundresshiringmanager@gmail.com. Applications are due by July 10, 2026.
