Internships

The Feminist Press, an independent nonprofit publisher, offers internships to students and non-students of all ages who want real-world publishing experience in a non-corporate environment.

Interns focus on one department–editorial, marketing, or publicity–but also get solid experience in all aspects of publishing. Duties may include proofing manuscripts, writing reader reports and press releases, sending out and following up on review copies, building media contact lists, updating our website, identifying new donors and assisting with fundraising events, and tracking rights and permissions. (And there will always be some filing and running down to the mailroom.)

Each season we put together a diverse team of enthusiastic interns interested in feminism, gender equality, freedom of expression, and social justice issues. Please check our website and become familiar with our books and our mission before you apply. We’re looking for a minimum 3-day-a-week commitment for three to six months; deadlines for each session are March 1 for summer, July 1 for fall, and November 1 for spring.

To apply:

• Email your resume and a cover letter explaining why you’d like to intern at the Press to internships@feministpress.org. In your email, please indicate which department you’re applying for, what dates you’re available (start and end dates), and what days of the week you are available.
• Include the names and contact info of two references.
• Be prepared to take a proofreading test.

We depend on your passion and great ideas. Please join us at the Feminist Press.
