We're looking for interns with an interest in commercial fiction, who are looking to expand their knowledge of the publishing industry through the perspective of a New York based literary agency.

Interns will have the opportunity to learn more about: the query process, query evaluation, editorial work pre-submission, submission lists, submission letter writing, royalties, contracts, the current state of publishing and the differences between traditional and indie publishing, how-to on creating POD books, eBooks, and cover design if desired, discussions on industry trends, sub rights including both audio and foreign rights, and much more.
Length of Internship: Seasonal Internships based off the semester system. (Fall, Spring, Summer)
Requirements: Perspective Interns should have an interest in publishing with strong written and verbal communication skills. Additionally, we appreciate self-motivated candidates who are responsible, organized, and can work both independently and in a group setting.

Our internship is fully remote, however, if interns are local to the New York area, we are open to having interns come in once a semester to see the office, meet with the team, and take home some books.
Location: New York, New York
Application Due Date: Rolling. We prefer to have applications in the month before the internship is set to start. However, we offer flexible start and end dates based on each interns specific schedule. (July/August for Fall Internships) (November/December for Spring internships) (April/May for Summer internships.)
Payment: Modest semester stipend.
