| Company Name: | LITERARY AGENCY |
| Description: | For people with a love of reading who are interested in entering the publishing world, the editorial/publishing internship at Foundry is ideal. You will spend your time reading through our submissions (both solicited and unsolicited material); evaluating the material and drafting reader’s reports; compiling editorial comments; and making recommendations to the agents.
You’ll also spend time working on various special projects that will greatly increase your understanding of how the publishing industry works. Amongst others, projects may include assisting in making submissions, drafting posts for Foundry’s social media platforms, writing coverage of manuscripts being considered for film adaptation, and conducting independent research online or in the media to identify new book ideas and potential authors. Administrative duties will be kept to a minimum but may include filing, working the front desk, and organizing mailings. |
