You will gain valuable experience in the industry, make connections and build relationships with teams across our company while working alongside a cohort of other interns, and play a part in getting the books we publish into the hands of our readers. Through on-the-job learning, you will develop and gain new skills that will be valuable to you in this role and in the future.

Our interns are paid $18.00 per hour and work 35 hours per week. You will be one of a group of interns working in various functions across the business. Like all our employees, you will participate in the life of our company (this includes the opportunity to attend company-wide gatherings, join the office book club, participate in educational sessions with industry experts, etc.), and you'll benefit from perks including a discount on books ordered through our online store.
