An opportunity to care

Since 2018, Tuwhiri has been publishing books on early Buddhism, its retrieval, and a secular adaptation to 21st century conditions, as well as making available thought-provoking books that are not obviously dharma books but which serve the ethic of care that is central to the dharma.

Run by an editorial board, from time to time, the composition of Tuwhiri’s editorial board changes. Here is a brief outline of what might be expected from a member of the board.

 

Job description

Members of the editorial board solicit manuscripts for publication, evaluate manuscripts received, and edit them as necessary. They also take an interest in activities that grow out of Tuwhiri publications, and may participate in promoting Tuwhiri publications and activities.

We are keen to find people in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and elsewhere to join our editorial board. An editorial board member, current or incipient, might:

  • be with us for the long haul, or
  • be on the board for an agreed, fixed period of time, or
  • be engaged in a particular project, or
  • have a useful skill or function, or
  • sit on the board in an advisory capacity, or as an elder statesperson 

Board members with us in an advisory capacity may include someone who the board may consult on a specific topic, or has stepped down yet wishes to remain engaged, for example.

Right now, we are looking in particular for someone with book production experience, or who is happy to learn about the process of creating beautiful books.

Also, if you have knowledge of book distribution and marketing, or would like to apply your experience of social media in wholesome ways, we’re keen to hear from you.

If you’re someone who cares about the development of a secular approach to the dharma, when you join us you’ll be helping to publish books, developing educational resources, and more.
