Are you interested in supporting Carbonation Press through your creative efforts? There is room for volunteering! Check out the roles below and email carbonationp@gmail.com to express your interest. Volunteers will receive a complimentary copy of any book they work on.
Opportunities
Copy Editing
Manuscripts are delivered to Carbonation in a nearly-finished state, but readers are always welcome to point out basic grammatical, format, and stylistic issues.
Interior Design
If you’re interested in contributing to the interior of the book, from page 1 to page the last, this is the role for you.
Cover Design
Visually-inclined folks are invited to bring their experience with Canva, Affinity, or Adobe to Carbonation Press.
Marketing, Outreach, and Social Media
Posts don’t create themselves! Those who are savvy with the gram, email, website, and other content-sharing platforms are invited to support this work. Additionally, we are always looking for new ways to distribute, including through bookstores and other spaces.
