Peirene Marketing Internship

 

Peirene Press operates an intern scheme, providing professional development to young people and new graduates who want to break into publishing. In return for our interns' time, we offer practical and demonstrable experience and the opportunity to take the lead on a short term project.

Please note: We do not offer editorial internships.

Responsibilities: Interns are offered the opportunity to create or take the lead on a project that will support Peirene Press's marketing strategy. This is not a tea and photocopying internship, though you may occasionally be asked to get stuck in with mail-outs!  You will work closely with the publisher and marketing director to gain an overview of a successful small independent publishing company.

Time: One day a week for two months (this is open to negotiation)

Location: Archway, N19

Interns will need to provide their own laptop. We will pay travel within London costs and provide lunch on the days that you are working with us.

We are always looking for proactive and ambitious interns to work with Peirene Press. If you are eager to gain experience in the publishing sector, and have interesting ideas about how to promote literature, we'd love to hear from you. Write to Maddy with a short covering note and your CV.
