Have you ever seen a cool cosplay, attended an amazing panel, or stumbled across something delightfully weird at CONvergence and thought, "Everyone should see this!"?

The CONvergence Social Media team is recruiting!

We're looking for a year-round Social Media Co-Head to help manage our social channels, support volunteers, and help shape how we connect with our community online.

We're also looking for Roving Reporters during the convention! This is one of the most flexible volunteer jobs at CONvergence—you decide how much time you want to contribute while posting live updates, photos, and videos to our Bluesky, Instagram, and future TikTok channels.

Roving Reporters get to explore the convention, share what they're seeing, and help attendees (and those following from home) experience all the fun happening around the convention.

Interested? Check out the Social Media positions here:

J.R. Dawson!

She's a Q***r speculative fiction author who the Washington Post called “both sharp and wistful, reminiscent of V.E. Schwab at her best.” Dawson's novel, The First Bright Thing, follows a time-traveling circus of magical misfits. Her newest book, The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World, is a sapphic Orpheus retelling that has been named a JLG Gold Standard and won the 2026 Society of Midland Authors award for Adult Fiction.
