Reunion: The Dallas Review is seeking new editors and readers for the 2025-2026 academic year from the BAHT student body. For over two decades, Reunion: The Dallas Review (formerly Sojourn) has been dedicated to finding and publishing exceptional examples of previously unpublished short fiction, drama, visual art, poetry, translation work, non-fiction, and interviews. Published annually each fall and a new piece published online each month, our mission remains to cultivate the local arts community and to promote the work of talented writers and artists both locally and across the globe.   Applicants must be University of Texas at Dallas undergraduate or graduate students who display a strong work ethic and the ability to work as a part of a team (note: we do have 1 position for an undergraduate intern available). All positions require good communication and organizational skills, the ability to critically assess the creative quality of large volumes of submissions, and to meet deadlines. All submissions are managed through Submittable software, so experience with the technology or the ability to learn new software is a necessary skill. Additionally, all staff members are expected to be able to meet for 2-3 in-person meetings and attend the Launch Party in the Spring. Below are the duties and responsibilities attached to each position:    

Editorial Management:  

• The Assistant Editor reports to the Editor-in-Chief, follows up with Genre Editors for progress on reading incoming submissions, copy-edits new issues, assists with launch party arrangements and hosting, organizes contributors' copy mailings, organizes creative writing program mailings, and coordinates the AWP Book Fair table. 
• The Managing Editor is responsible for sending out calls for submissions to creative writing programs, for mailing copies of each issue purchased online to buyers, communicating with our exchange partners, mailing out copies of the new issue to exchanging partners every spring and ensuring that we receive a copy of their issues as well. The Managing Editor helps to proofread/copy-edit the new issue and works closely with the Editor-in-Chief and the Assistant Editor.  

 Editorial Staff:   The editorial staff is made up of Readers and Editors for the following genres: drama, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, translation, and visual arts. The Submissions Period runs from October 1st to January 15th and the Reading Period runs from October 1st to March 15th (in tandem with submissions, and extends one month longer than submissions).    

• The Editors for each genre (drama, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and translation) are responsible for the oversight of their readers. Genre Editors will disperse submissions for Readers to read and rate. The Genre Editors will make a final selection from these top choices, a number decided upon in advance by the Genre Editor and approved by the Editor-in-Chief and Faculty Adviser. The top choices are then sent to the Editorial Management Team. Once the Editor-in-Chief decides to accept/decline selections, the Genre Editor is responsible for communicating the decision on the submission to the Author of that work via Submittable. 
• Readers work closely with the Genre Editors. All submissions will be channeled to their specific category under the supervision of the Genre Editor and then dispersed to the Readers by the appropriate Genre Editor(s). During the Reading Period, the readers will rate all submissions for their genre on Submittable and make additional notes regarding the works to assist with the review and selection process.
• The Social Media Specialist will be responsible for broadening Reunion's online presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by posting to these social media sites on a regular basis. Specialists will be responsible for advertising upcoming creative writing events on campus and in the community as well as news related to Reunion and its contributors' published works. Specialists must also have good writing, editing, and proofreading skills, in addition to technical and social media skills. 
• The Undergraduate Intern will be responsible for assisting the Editorial Management staff with various tasks throughout the year. Potential interns should have a passion for literature and the arts and have the ability to ensure that projects and other responsibilities are completed in a timely fashion. For this position, we need someone who is extremely organized, a solid writer, computer savvy, and conversant with publishing and social media (web- and app-based).
