    Publicists promote authors’ works to as many potential readers as possible.

Publishers work closely with departments such as editorial, sales, and design.

  • Copy Editor

    Copy editing is the first step in the editing process, requiring meticulous and detail-oriented individuals, as they are responsible for eliminating grammatical and syntactical inconsistencies. Interns will have the opportunity to work on several literary forms, from online newspapers to magazines and even manuscripts.

  • Literary Agent

    Representing an author, literary agents liaise between an author and publishers. Agents are responsible for pitching the author’s work to editors/publishing houses while negotiating contracts and deals. Interns will have the opportunity to manage sales, contracts, and the publication process of their designated clients.
