Editorial board

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.

※ Job description

Here is a brief outline of what might be expected from a member of the board.

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 one or two people to join our editorial board. 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, develop book reading groups, and more.

Whether you’re in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, Oceania or elsewhere, as an editorial board member, you 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, for example, be someone whom the board may consult on a specific topic, or who has stepped down yet wishes to remain engaged.

Right now, we are looking 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.

 

※ Submissions

To start with, please speak with or write to one of the members of our editorial board if you would like to discuss a book or an educational project. You can also get in touch with us through the Contact page.

Tuwhiri has put together a style guide to assist authors during the writing process. In the News section of our website, we posted the reasons we created this style guide for Tuwhiri authors. You may find it useful to go through the style guide itself at some point.

Finally, here’s a page in which we set out how to submit your manuscript..
