Montserrat College-Art Gallery, Somerville, MA, United States
We are a dynamic company that provides excellent opportunities to acquire firsthand knowledge of the publishing industry. We are looking for motivated, conscientious, and dedicated individuals with excellent organizational skills, as well as strong attention to detail, who are very eager to learn about the children’s publishing industry and be part of a high-energy, creative team.
Candlewick Editorial Internship Editorial Interns will work closely with a mentor in the editorial department and learn about the entire editorial process, from initial submission to printer’s proofs. Intern tasks often include reading submissions, writing reader’s reports, and drafting rejection letters; researching comparable titles in the market; fact‑checking; researching third‑party permissions for visual and textual material incorporated in books; drafting jacket/cover copy and ad card copy; and checking in‑house page proofs and printer’s proofs. Additionally, interns may attend meetings based on availability, which may include weekly covers, production, and picture book team meetings as well as project‑specific meetings with members of the editorial, editorial services, and design teams. Candidates with reading comprehension in other languages should specify this in their resume and cover letter.
Our annual application deadlines are as follows:
Spring internships (running from early February through early May) – November 5th
Summer internships (running from early June through mid-August) – April 5th
Fall internships (running from early September through end of November) – June 15th
To Apply:
submit PDFs of your resume and cover letter via e‑mail specifying the department and semester of interest to the attention of the internship coordinator at interns@candlewick.com. If applying for more than one department’s internship, please submit separate cover letters for each.
