Ever wanted to read a book before it's a book? You might want to be a first reader during our upcoming open call.
We must be discreet, get the Gnashing Teeth vibe, and be able to read past the words to the soul of the work.
You don't get to tell anyone you're a reader, so no street cred. But you're doing the coolest thing around.
We read blind, so there's no favoritism and everyone gets the same treatment.
Ready to apply? Send an email to [email protected] with the subject "Let Me Read" and let us know why youd be a great first reader. Accepting interested parties through the end of the month.
