The Great Society Strategies Political Consulting - Fellowship opportunity
Posted 9/8/2026
Great Society Strategies is a Democratic direct voter contact firm, and they are currently seeking to hire for their Political Consulting Fellowship. This a paid W-2 position at $1,650 a month for roughly 20 hours a week, one semester with the option to stay on. Fellows do real operations work — canvass scheduling, voter file and VAN list work, quality control on field data, client reporting, and race research. They're open to juniors, seniors, and recent graduates of any major. They offer academic credit and will complete any paperwork Princeton requires, and run the fellowship year-round and hire on a rolling basis.
What this fellowship actually is:
This is an operations job. You are helping run the machine that talks to voters: recruiting and scheduling canvassers, keeping the voter file clean, checking that the data coming back from the field is real, building the reports that go to clients, and researching the races we are trying to win. It is not a canvassing job. You will spend time in the field because you cannot manage a canvass you have never worked, but the job is running programs, not walking turf all semester.
How to apply:
Send the following to careers@greatsocietystrategies.com with the subject line "Political Consulting Fellow - [Your Name]":
• Your resume.
• A short cover note. Half a page is plenty.
• Answers to these three questions, a paragraph each: (1) Tell us about a time you had to figure something out with no one to ask. (2) What is a race, anywhere in the country, that you have opinions about, and what are they? (3) What does your schedule actually look like this semester?
• Two references with phone numbers. They can be a professor, a boss, or anyone who has supervised your work.
We read applications as they come in and move fast. You will hear back within two weeks. There are two interviews: one with a member of our team, one with the principal.

The Harper Review - Call for Submissions
Posted 9/1/2026
The Harper Review, a review of politics and culture run by University of Chicago students that takes inspiration from magazines like The Point, Lapham’s Quarterly, Hedgehog Review, New Criterion, Compact, The Drift, n+1, First Things, County Highway and classics like The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and Commentary.
They are now looking for essays and letters in our Autumn 2026 issue.
We’re interested in essays that:
- Thoughtfully explore cultural and political phenomena.
- Bring in intellectual interlocutors, but don’t rely on jargon or vogue.
- Are written for a general audience without talking down or dumbing down.
- Argue something we may not hear from the talking heads.
- Connect life on the ground to big ideas and vice versa.
- Take those that disagree seriously.
- Are not academic articles—ideas from class papers can inspire our essays, but we are a general-audience magazine, not an academic journal.
- Are 1,500–2,500 words.
They're also looking for shorter letters (4–5 paragraphs or 400–600 words) responding to the statement, “Good work is its own reward.” Argue in favor, against, or that the statement itself is flawed—we want to hear it all.
Here are a few highlights from the Harper Review archive: Managing editor Declan Rexer forecasts the Colorado River and Western fantasies. Assistant editor Charlie Phelan muses on David Foster Wallace and modern entertainment. Magazine cofounder and USA Today editor Surya Gowda argues that the new media paradigm manufactures dissent. Letters debate progress, sex, and ivory towers.
If any of this inspires you to write, shoot us a draft or a 500-word pitch and writing sample at harperreview@gmail.com. (Given their short length, we do not consider pitches for letters; please send full drafts.) If you are interested in subscribing to our weekly newsletter or reading pieces we’ve published in the past, please visit their website.
