Staff Application Captioner — $2,000
Ends on
Foglifter—created by and for LGBTQ+ writers and readers—continues the San Francisco Bay Area’s tradition of groundbreaking queer and trans writing, often publishing those who are multi-marginalized (BIPOC, youth, elders, and people with disabilities). Our biannual journal features the widest range of forms, with an emphasis on transgressive, risky, challenging subject matter, innovative formal choices, and work that pushes the boundaries of what writing can do. By putting extraordinary queer and trans writers into conversation, we uplift a growing community of LGBTQ+ readers and writers and carve out space in the larger literary community for voices that have historically been silenced.
We are currently on the search for a captioner to caption past and upcoming (2026) event videos. We can pay a flat rate of $2,000 for this project, and there is opportunity to stay on as our captioner for future projects. At this point, we ask for applications by folks with captioning experience.
The current workload estimate: 3-5 hours for 2026 readings (11.1, Start A Riot! launch, and 11.2), 3-5 hours for last year's readings (10.1, Start A Riot! launch, and 10.2), 2-3 hours of past livestreams (9.2, 9.1, Congo), and other past readings, with each of those videos ranging from 30 mins to 90 mins (8.2, 8.1, The Way Back Launch, 7.2, 7.1).
