Bloomsbury is looking for an intern for the Children's Editorial department. Responsibilities will include reading and evaluating both solicited and unsolicited manuscripts, writing reader reports, drafting acquisitions paperwork, and providing general support with day-to-day operations for the department. An ideal candidate will be eager to both work hard and learn about the publishing process from manuscript to finished book. We are a busy department looking for someone who is organized, has strong writing skills, a love of reading, and the ability to multi task. An interest in children's publishing is a must. Bloomsbury is willing to work with candidates to meet their academic institution’s criteria for earning credit if applicable.
