Active Members

Some non-committee members choose to take an active part in our work. These are our Active Members.

Active membership can take many forms. It can be as simple as helping out on our occasional market stalls, delivering books, organising or taking part in literary and educational events, or raising our profile in the community.

The Backroom Press Management Committee welcomes assistance from Active Members with some of our tasks, including:

  • Graphic design
  • Marketing and promotion, e.g. writing media releases
  • Reviewing books
  • Writing Teachers’ Notes, New Release information, short newsletter articles etc
  • Distributing and promoting our books in the Kimberley, or nationally
  • Filling book orders
  • Posting and updating social media, e.g. Facebook and Twitter
  • Maintaining the website
  • Maintaining a database of contacts
  • Coordinating literary events e.g. Corrugated Lines, author visits, book launches.
