Changing the world, one book at a time.
As a team of dedicated book-loving professionals, we discover, shape, and share content that nurtures thoughts, dreams, and conversations around the globe, ensuring that new and established voices are heard.
We are actively seeking to add team members from communities with lived experiences of marginalization and underrepresentation. We respect and value each individual and are committed to creating a more diverse team and establishing a culture of belonging. If you identify as Black, Indigenous, a person of colour, a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community or another marginalized group, we strongly encourage you to apply.
Penguin Random House Canada internships:
In this role, you will engage in meaningful work that supports your professional growth and facilitates learning in your area of specialty while contributing to the success of our books. You will be surrounded by others with the same curiosity, drive, and passion for books.
Most employees based out of our offices in Toronto and Vancouver are currently working from home, and so at this time, we welcome applicants from anywhere in Canada to join us remotely for the duration of this internship.
We're looking for a highly organized Rights Intern to join our team.
What you'll do:
The Rights Department finds publishers around the world, and pitches, negotiates and sells translation rights for titles across the Penguin Random House Canada lists. You'll be joining us at a time where we are building up a Rights team, and you will help us deliver high-quality content to our foreign publishing partners, co-agents, authors and scouts. You will help with information tracking for submissions and contracts, maintain and update databases, and help prepare for the main book fairs (Bologna, London and Frankfurt). You will participate in team meetings and have an opportunity to see the Rights deal process at each stage.
What you can expect from your internship experience:
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.
