The Community Editor Apprenticeship provides a way for people from diverse backgrounds to come together and have conversations about cultural sensitivity, equity, and social justice, and our role in creating change as individuals and as a literary journal. Apprentices come from a variety of ethnic and social-economic backgrounds, ages, gender identities, and levels of writing and editing experience.

The process of the Community Editor Apprenticeship is a simple one: during each session we read a packet of stories and poems and discussed them in small groups. This is the heart of the Almanac’s unique method because we all learn from each other, even experienced editors like me, as well as those new to editing.

Support our community editors as they are "of the community" and so, "are the champions for writers of diverse communities."
