Does BookEnds hire interns?
BookEnds does “hire” interns for semester-long terms. Applicants should have a strong interest in book publishing and be savvy readers and strong writers. Interns will be responsible for reading submissions and writing evaluations of fiction and nonfiction, helping to develop current projects, as well as assisting in the day-to-day operations of a literary agency. The internship will be administrative in part, but our goal is to create an environment where students learn firsthand about an agency’s role in book publishing. The internship is unpaid, but the hours can be flexible in order to work with a student’s schedule. Applications are accepted in the beginning of April (for the summer), August (for the fall), and November (for the spring). Resumes should include related job or academic experience, a list of the last three to five books you have read for pleasure, and a cover letter describing why you would like to work for a literary agency. Resumes and letters can be emailed direct
