Flexible hours, real publishing credits, and the chance to say “I was there at the very beginning.”

This is a Founding, Equity‑in‑Vision position . Compensation is currently in the form of company equity, full publication credit, and the immense professional reputation that comes with building an aesthetic literary brand from the ground up alongside the founders of The Admont Library.

  • Design our site and archive's digital architecture

  • Receive a percentage of the company's net profits as a Founding Member, ensuring a direct ownership stake in the company's success.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Flexible hours to fit around your schedule
  • Hands‑on experience in real publishing projects
  • Your name in print in each publication as part of your portfolio
