Fall 2024 Beacon Press Internships for People of Color

Editorial

The Beacon Press Internships for People of Color program seeks to increase diversity and inclusiveness in the book publishing industry. We encourage applicants anywhere in the country to apply. We offer a competitive hourly wage of $16 an hour for each internship. Interns are expected to work for 10–14 weeks, with a 17–20 hour-per-week commitment and a flexible schedule. It is preferable, though not required, that interns be available to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays for various meetings.

The editorial team would like to hire an intern for the fall semester, to begin in September. The editorial intern will work closely with the editorial team, assess incoming proposals and provide readers reports, draft reading guides, research potential authors and sales data, and more.

A Beacon Press internship is a wonderful learning opportunity and may prove to be invaluable should you pursue a career in book publishing. Because Beacon is a small press, our interns have the opportunity to observe the functions of other departments as well as their own, to work in a friendly and supportive environment, and to make a valued contribution to a distinguished press that has a long tradition of publishing progressive, timely, and thought-provoking books.
