About this role

At OutWrite, our Illustrations/Graphics team is made up of illustrators, photographers, videographers, and other artists. Their primary role is creating artwork that accompanies written content for our website, social media, and print editions, but they are also encouraged to pursue independent projects which honor their individual artistic and narrative expression related to the queer community. We welcome all levels of interest and experience and hope OutWrite can inspire you to create work you’ll be proud of.

We strive to have an engaged staff who are open to having conversations that at times can be challenging or confronting. We encourage our team to boost our publication into the future. Through fostering an inclusive space for our contributors and readers, OutWrite encourages its staff to grow both personally and professionally and take part in a wonderful community!
