Publishing Editorial Internship (Summer 2010)

Unpaid internship (+ $1,000 stipend)

Observe, learn, and participate as you follow the publishing process of a book—from the initial manuscript review to first draft edits to final proofreading to sending a completed book to press. In the process, you'll assist with copy-to-copy proofreading, pre-press checks, and occasional "cold" proofreading (including children's books). You may also write advertising copy ("blurbs") for the covers of upcoming books.

This internship is designed for English majors preferably in junior or senior level of coursework. Must have exceptional proofreading and communication skills. Must pass an in-house proofreading/editing test with 85% or higher. Proficiency with MS Word and MS Excel is encouraged.

DO NOT USE THE APPLY LINK BELOW OR COMPLETE AN ONLINE APPLICATION. To apply for this internship, submit a cover letter and resume to Andrea Barker at abarker@deseretbook.com or mail to Deseret Book, Human Resources; PO Box 30178, Salt Lake City, UT 84130.

Although this is an unpaid internship, students will receive internship credit (as arranged by intern through college/university) plus a $1,000 stipend to help cover travel and other related expenses.
