Having your own book blog is a plus.
Your duties will include:

Bookshelf, Goodreads, LibraryThing, etc.
* engaging in Readers’ forums and discussions,
spreading the word of our titles

and Goodreads

a week, to report the results of your week's

This is an unpaid internship but you will have
a creative voice and your opinion will matter.
You will help unique, witty, timely novels to
find their readers and connect with them. You
will also have an opportunity to learn a few
things about publishing, editing, and book production;
to interact with authors while promoting their
books; to build up your resume with hands-on
editorial work; and to receive a reference for
your future job search in publishing.
This is a telecommuting, part-time internship:
you can make your own hours and report on your
accomplishments once a week. The weekly check-in
is mandatory.
NOTE: If you need an academic credit, please
check with your school before contacting us,
as some do not approve telecommuting academic
internships.
Before applying for internship with us, watch
this movie:
Not just the trailer:
the whole movie. It's a mediocre comedy at best,
but it will give you an excellent primer on
the state of publishing today. You can get it
streaming from Netflix.
To apply, please e-mail a cover letter and
a brief (1–3 paragraphs) essay explaining
why you are interested to
