Volunteers learn how Rowayat operates, how to use submission tools, and how to help support our mission. We typically look for two kinds of volunteers:
- Rowayat Reader: Reading submissions and deciding whether they move on to the editorial team. By volunteering as a reader, you’ll be exposed to a wide variety of work that could improve your writing style and craft.
- Rowayat Social Guru: We always need volunteers to help us with social media; if you want to be part of a dynamic creative team, don’t hesitate to contact us.
It’s a great way to gain experience, meet writers, improve your own writing, understand the submission process, and contribute to the literary community.
