C&R Press is looking for two editorial interns.
We are looking for applicants with exceptional writing and editing skills, sharp analytic skills, meticulous attention to detail and factual accuracy, and familiarity with Microsoft Office, Internet research, and social networking platforms (Twitter, FB, Pinterest, Tumblr). We’re willing to develop the right candidates. Must also be a self starter and capable of working independently. Interns will work remotely and Skype/phone with directors regularly.

Editorial internships are typically available each semester and for the summer term: Sept-Dec, Jan-April and Jun-August. We are flexible and prefer to keep interns with us for 6 months to, potentially, a year for the right candidate. This is unpaid though we’ve been known to give bonuses. You will receive unparalleled access to the directors, training, a lot of responsibility and a fantastic reference. School credit available. Interns are thoroughly involved in the process. If you stay with us for the year and beyond, you will get an editorial credit. We will put effort in to develop you and go to bat for you if you do well.

To apply, please send a resume, cover letter, two writing samples (creative pieces are OK—20 pages total max), and three references (references are important) to lharms@crpress.org with “Editorial Internship” in the subject field.
