DESCRIPTION

We are looking for dynamic, talented, and hardworking interns for the Fall 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

• 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 Fall 2013 internship begins September 3 and runs until December 20 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 June 1, 2013.
