We are looking for a director of social media, a director of operations and new readers!
Our team at Monstering is what enables us to continue publishing the work of disabled women and gender-diverse people. Monstering has been a labour of love since 2016.

This includes physical, intellectual, mental and other types of disabilities (we will not ask you to disclose your disability) and identities such as women, transgender people, non-binary individuals, and others (again, we will not ask you to disclose).
