Want to become part of the candlelit Team?

Are you an artist drawn to the moody and dark? If you are prone to sketching on long train rides, doodling in time worn margins, and viewing life as a piece unfinished, this role is perfect for you. Here, the literary and artistic merge.

As a painter or illustrator for the magazine, you will immerse yourself in carefully selected poetry and prose, translating atmosphere, emotion, and narrative into striking original artwork. Your creations won’t just accompany the writing they will deepen it.

This unpaid role is perfect for artists who are looking to build their portfolio, love the dark academia aesthetic, and want to help shape the visual identity of a growing literary space.
