Internships are a standard part of how people learn the publishing business. When you work at a major publisher, you’re gaining experience, insight, and making contacts that can eventually serve you for your entire career as a writer, editor, or even as an agent.
If you’re interested in working in publishing, and you’re in the NYC area or willing to relocate, Tor/Forge is currently seeking two editorial interns:
Tor Books is seeking two editorial interns for the spring 2010 semester. The interns in this position will gain insight into the process of publishing a book at every stage, from acquisition and contracts through production and, finally, the finished product. They will learn about acquisitions, editorial review, scheduling, rights and territories, catalogue, and sales. There will also be opportunities to read and evaluate unsolicited manuscripts. While this is an editorial internship, the position will involve interaction with other departments including Production, Marketing, Ad Promo, and Publicity. Our interns have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of genre fiction, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller, mystery, and romance.
This has been a friendly-neighborhood boost-the-signal announcement.
You have a typo on your home page. I didn’t read the whole website, so there could be more. Just thought you’d like to know.
We’re in the process of revamping and reformatting the site – which is rather sprawling and disorganized. I always appreciate knowing about typos and errors, so thank you!
Unfortunately, I’m looking and looking, and not seeing a typo (probably I’m seeing what I know is supposed to be there, rather than what I actually typed.) If you could point me in the direction of said typo, I’d be very appreciative.
ETA: “announcements” was missing an e – was that the typo you meant?
