| Description: |
We are looking for dynamic, talented, and hardworking interns for the Summer 2013 season. We need interns who are self-starters, eager to learn, and passionate about contributing to our mission of creating books that promote freedom of expression and social justice.
The Feminist Press is an independent, nonprofit publishing house based in Manhattan with a small, dedicated staff. We publish exciting authors who share an activist spirit and a belief in choice and equality, and seek out innovative, often surprising books that tell a different story.
Interns gain solid experience in all aspects of publishing and work closely with the staff in each
department: editorial, publicity, marketing, and development.
Responsibilities include:
reviewing unsolicited submissions
proofreading texts
writing press releases
sending out review copies
submitting books for awards
updating our website and social media accounts working on internet marketing campaigns identifying new donors assisting with fundraising events and book launch parties general office management and mailing duties
We seek individuals willing to bring
professionalism, dedication, strong multitasking and communication skills, a commitment to equality, and a good attitude to the office.
Interns work closely with one another so a willingness to collaborate and share responsibilities is essential. Familiarity with our books is helpful, but is not required.
Former FP interns are now at Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Random House, W.W. Norton & Company,
Signs: Journal of Women and Culture, Women Make Movies, On the Issues, the Nation, and the Huffington Post.
The Summer 2013 internship begins May 20 and runs until August 22 and requires a commitment of three days a week, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Interns will receive a small daily stipend to offset the cost of transportation within New York City.
Deadline to apply is March 1, 2013.
