Books Internship Opportunity

Posted by on May 24 at 11:39 AM

Attention college students and/or good writers itching to break in: I need an intern for the books section. The position involves a couple tedious recurring tasks (creating the book section calendar, ordering books from publishers, getting coffee for Sean Nelson) and the occasional library research task (the last guy got saddled with looking into crystal meth and the history of public sex for me; an intern before that was made to photocopy issues of the Partisan Review from the ’40s; etc.).

The internship is three months long and unpaid. Fifteen hours per week. There may be occasional opportunities to write (about books), for which you’d be paid. Send a letter explaining why you’d make a great books section intern and two or three other writing samples to frizzelle@thestranger.com by the end of the day on Thursday, May 26.

(Confidential to P.D.: Thanks for all your help.)
