What are the responsibilities and job description for the Poetry Editorial Intern position at ECHO Review Literary Magazine?
Company Description
ECHO Review is a literary magazine founded in 2023 by Aleena Rose. We are a proud champion of young, marginalized, and otherwise systematically disadvantaged writers. While history has a tendency to favor certain groups over others, ECHO takes great pride in being an active advocate in closing these gaps.
We chose history because it's one long, burning story. History itself is a compilation of fine writing. We just want to peer into the cracks of it, to salvage the people and the stories that haven't been told in their full force yet. With history, we can shape our perception of society, and use it to address present global affairs. Or we can just address that Napoleon isn't really as short as the media makes us think. It's up to you.
