Summer 2024 Internship

​

Islandport Press offers a ten-week, in-person internship in the book publishing industry. We look for highly-motivated, organized, enthusiastic individuals who are interested in learning about all aspects of book publishing from editing to marketing to events, and are willing to pitch in wherever the need arises. These are paid hourly positions with set, but somewhat flexible schedules. 

​

Our interns typically work 24 to 30 hours a week from mid-June to mid-August. We give preference to college students entering their senior year, but we also consider recent post-graduates as well as younger college students.

​

Interns at Islandport Press will work in all areas of a small publishing house. Duties include, but are not limited to editing, manuscript evaluation, data entry, marketing, social media, research, writing, and other miscellaneous tasks.

​

Application deadline is April 12, 2024.  We make a final hiring decision by early May.

​

If you are interested in a summer internship, you must submit a resume and cover letter, including your dates of availability and expressing the goals you hope to accomplish. Please send your application via email to Shannon Butler at shannon@islandportpress.com. Please note this is an in-person internship at our Yarmouth, Maine office. Interns are responsible for their own housing. No telephone calls, please.
