The McRae Publishing Internship offers a singular educational opportunity to young men and women interested in book publishing to start their careers as interns and gain valuable practical knowledge about the publishing industry. Interns will learn about publishing while providing assistance to and working under the supervision of the Press’s full-time staff in a variety of tasks.
Previous interns have gone on to jobs in publishing or related fields or continued their education by attending university-affiliated publishing programs.
The position requires a minimum of 25 hours per week with a preference for more hours if possible. The monthly stipend will vary based on the amount of time worked. The application deadline is November 10.
The other position available this spring is a student internship. The student
intern should be available to work 8-15 hours per week (between 8:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m.), and will assist with a variety of editorial tasks including the
following:
- proofreading book descriptions, captions, and indexes
- preparing letters, reports, and checklists
- checking permissions
- filing and copying
UPM is happy to work with the student so that s/he could receive
college credit for work done at the Press.
To apply for either position, please send a cover letter and resume
to Editorial Assistant Katie Keene at kkeene@mississippi.edu.
