*PUBLISHING INTERNSHIPS AT THE FEMINIST PRESS
*

We are looking for dynamic, talented, and hardworking interns for the
Spring 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 include:

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 Spring 2013 internship begins January 7 and runs until May 17 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 November 1, 2012. *

Application Instructions:

Email your resume and a cover letter explaining why you’d like to intern at
the press to *intern[at]feministpress[dot]org.* In your email, please
indicate which days of the week you are available. Include the names and
contact information of two references.
