Summer (mid-June to mid-August to start) edit/publish internship or volunteer opportunity. Publishing Assistant to Writer Lois Leveen
The internship would focus on assisting with promotion of my novel, The Secrets of Mary Bowser, to various niche audiences (you can learn more about the book at www.loisleveen.com). The novel is published by William Morrow/HarperCollins, and their internal publicist and marketing leads are handling much of the mainstream promotion. The intern will work under my direct supervision on contacting media/social networking/booksellers/event venues for niche audiences beyond the scope of what Morrow is covering. In the changing book industry, even major publishers are working under highly constrained budgets, and the work in which the intern will be involved will offer a great learning experience in how to be creative and entrepreneurial in book promotion. My ideal would be to have an intern for approximately 5 hours per week, but I'm flexible. Portland area based. Interested Pacific students and alums should send short letter of interest and resume to Prof. Kathlene Postma, [email protected]. June 10th deadline.
A novel by Lois Leveen based on the true story of Mary Bowser, a former slave who became a Union spy during the Civil War.
