Our Volunteers
At the center of Pencilhouse’s flagship feedback program is its volunteer critics. Their experienced eyes and encouraging voices are what breathes life into Pencilhouse’s mission to foster the writing process for new and developing writers.
As a Pencilhouse volunteer critic, you’ll receive one piece a month in your chosen genre (poetry/fiction/creative non-fiction, or any combination that suits you!), and the opportunity to read and respond to the submitter’s work on your own schedule over the course of a few weeks.
Many of our volunteer critics note that writing feedback helps to keep their skills sharp—and they pretty universally love knowing they’re able to offer a couple hours a month for the good of the writing community at large!
