So I need a Books Intern again. It’s an unpaid position, although you do get free books. Two past books interns have wound up as Party Crashers for The Stranger—go figure—and five former interns do work for me. I started as a books intern. Are you excited yet?

It’s ten to fifteen hours a week, and the primary duty involves compiling the readings calendar, along with other things like requesting books from publishers and etc. Organizational skills are a plus, but I’d be a hypocrite if I said they were a must. There is no coffee-fetching or other demeaning tasks involved. Interns will write reviews for The Stranger.

Being a reader is a necessity, although favorite genres and topics are entirely unimportant. This is a good job for a bookseller or a student looking to have a few clips they can leverage into a lucrative career as a book critic.
