Publishing Internship with Graywolf Press

Graywolf Press offers ongoing unpaid internships designed to expose qualified applicants to editorial and marketing work and other aspects of the publishing industry. Graywolf is a small, nonprofit literary press dedicated to the creation and promotion of thoughtful and imaginative contemporary literature essential to a vital and diverse culture.

The typical internship requires a commitment of fifteen to twenty-five hours per week for a period of four months. The internship must be scheduled during operating hours—9 AM through 5 PM, Monday through Friday—and usually operates around the academic calendar.

An internship at Graywolf Press affords the opportunity for interns to participate in many aspects of publishing. While working closely with other interns and members of the editorial staff, interns will read and evaluate fiction, nonfiction, and poetry submissions. Additionally, interns will be involved in corresponding with authors and sending manuscript rejections.

Interns will also be responsible for marketing, publicity, and development tasks including assisting with publicity projects, coordinating mailings of review copies and catalogs, assisting with various fundraising initiatives, tracking and logging reviews, marketing research, and compiling press kits. All interns are also expected to help with administrative tasks such as data entry, photocopying, and other various support tasks.
To qualify for a Graywolf internship, candidates must be enthusiastic about all aspects of publishing, have knowledge of contemporary literature, excellent communication skills, the ability to work independently, computer literacy, and undergraduate experience in English or a related field.
