Volunteer Opportunity!

Are you a high school or college student with a literary mind looking for service hours? Are you simply a big fan of reading short stories and can’t get enough? Do you want to have a voice in what kind of work is being published these days? Then you’re in luck. 

WBT is looking for volunteer readers! As Wrath-Bearing Tree grows, so has our number of submissions. Wrath-Bearing Tree is looking for volunteer readers to assist the Fiction Editors in identifying quality work for publication. Send a brief letter to Fiction Editor, Matthew Hefti, at matthew.hefti@wrath-bearingtree.org that contains (1) your professional or educational qualifications (even if it’s just “I love to read short stories!”), (2) why you’re interested, and (3) anything else you’d like us to know. 

 

 

The Wrath-Bearing Tree has officially gained its tax-exempt status as 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.  

Our Mission: 

The Wrath-Bearing Tree is formed to improve the lives of military members, veterans, and their families through the creation of a literary platform for military members, veterans, and other writers to compose and share literary, audio, and visual art related to the topic of military service, violence, trauma, and resulting mental and emotional health challenges.

Our overall goals:

1. Continue to publish our monthly online journal on the first Monday of every month (10 years now!)

2. Pay our hardworking contributors for their work.

3. Establish a literary press for the kind of out-there and challenging writing WBT loves.

4. Create writing competitions for writers from communities affected by violence and histories of trauma.

5. Organize readings and workshops for communities affected by violence and histories of trauma

Which all means we will be doing what we have always been doing. We will use art to work towards the enhancement of public perception of social justice and human resilience in the context of all communities affected by violence and histories of trauma.

We hope you can continue to support as you have through the years. You can find our Patreon and PayPal page below. Thanks again for everything.
