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

Instead of offering a general publishing internship, we offer focused departmental internships. Five internships will be offered per session: two marketing internships, one development internship, and two editorial internships. The internships are intended for those who are serious about pursuing these particular fields, and the acceptance process will be highly selective. Please see the guidelines below for detailed information on each type of internship. Please apply for only one internship at a time, and indicate in your cover letter whether or not you might be available for a different department. All interns are expected to help with general office administrative tasks such as data entry, photocopying, mailings, and other various support tasks as needed.

Benefits of an internship at Graywolf include a great hands-on learning experience at a well-established nonprofit arts organization, a flexible schedule, and free books. College credit is also available.
