Call for Editors
We are seeking to expand our editorial board to meet the demands of a growing publisher and magazine, and better reflect the breadth of experiences on the communist left in Britain. Ebb invites applications to fill multiple positions as Editors.
Since the creation of the Editorial Board in 2021, Ebb has aspired to become a principled and progressive element on the Marxist left in Britain – helping to highlight the necessity of solidarity with the oppressed and drawing attention to the anti-imperialist commitments necessary for a genuine left-wing politics in the imperial centre. This includes the publication of Mahmoud Najib’s translation of Ghassan Kanafani’s On Zionist Literature (2022), and Voices for African Liberation (2024) – a collection of interviews with the Review of African Political Economy. Our first magazine issue was published in January 2024, and our next issue is forthcoming.
In addition to this work and our work on trans Marxism, anti-fascism, and Irish republicanism, there are a number of areas that we would particularly like to develop and publish on:
Political economies of Britain and analyses of the British left
Contemporary Marxist debates (around degrowth, neofeudalism, etc.)
First hand accounts of political events, along the same vein as Sophia Alderson’s essay on the Sunderland and Middlesbrough race riots
Critiques of contemporary historical and contemporary fascism in Britain
Responsibilities of those on the Editorial Board will include:
Commissioning and writing content for the website and print
Editorial support including reading through submissions, proofreading, and copyediting
Attending monthly meetings online and occasional in-person Editorial Board socials
Representing Ebb at public meetings and book fairs
Helping publications to reach a wide readership, including through growing our social media presence
Taking an active role in shaping Ebb and contributing to discussions about its future and its role in the broader left landscape in Britain
Some writing experience is necessary and editing experience would be helpful, but Ebb has an experienced group of editors able to support new members of the Editorial Board who are less familiar with the editorial process. Applications from women and from people who have not accessed postgraduate education are especially welcomed.
For applications, please email editorial@ebb-magazine.com and include one written piece and a short statement on your background and how you hope to contribute to Ebb. If you have any queries regarding the position, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Please note that all Editors at Ebb are volunteers.
