PocketAuthor

Explore how you can help widen access to writing, knowledge and reader communities. This optional 30-minute introductory conversation helps us understand your interests, skills, learning goals and availability, and discuss a suitable public-benefit volunteer task.

Areas include volunteer coordination, engineering, design and accessibility, quality assurance, grants and evidence research, community events, editorial and translation, storytelling, NGO partnerships and reader access.

Booking a conversation does not mean you have been accepted into a role or granted access. A first task needs an agreed scope and an accepting reviewer. This is unpaid volunteering, not a paid job or a commitment to commercial client manuscript work.

Prefer to start asynchronously? You can express interest through the PocketAuthor project on DemocracyLab without booking a call: https://www.democracylab.org/projects/2066

Please share only information and public work samples you have permission to share. Do not include private manuscripts, credentials or sensitive personal information. Check the timezone displayed before choosing a time.
