Prose Editor: Surging Tide's Prose Editor will curate essays, short stories, and creative nonfiction for upcoming issues.

Project Lead:
Do you have an idea for Surging Tide? Want to start a column, write a newsletter, run a reading series, or host workshops? Join Surging Tide as a Project Lead. You will hone your management and leadership skills while working with a team to develop the project to fruition. Please apply with a project pitch detailing a list of steps required to successfully complete the project. An outline is fine—the team will flesh the idea out with you if accepted. 

Art Co-Director: Surging Tide's Art Co-Director will curate visual art pieces for upcoming issues. They will have the opportunity to lead their own initiatives within Surging Tide, such as starting an art workshop series, writing blogs on medium, design, and craftsmanship, or an idea of their own pitching.

All Staff Writers will work with the Editorial Lead and the Managing Editor to finalize and publish their pieces. Staff writers should contribute at least six pieces annually (once every two months), but more are certainly encouraged.
