Wisdom House Books

Wisdom House Books is seeking a summer intern who will assist the editorial and PR/marketing team on a newly formed poetry and art project, Nocturnus, at our independent press with the poetry and art submissions and promotional efforts of the division.

This project will allow you to gain hands-on experience with editing and reviewing poetry and art submissions and will enable you to showcase creative and marketing skills in the literary and independent book publishing industry.

We are looking for someone who can collaborate well with a team but who can also work independently. An ideal candidate would be someone who has an English/literature, art, or communications degree background or another related area of study, is well versed in social media, and has critical thinking skills.

The project calls for the following responsibilities:

● Strengthening the social media presence of Nocturnus on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

● Evaluating poetry and art submissions under the close guidance of the editorial and design team.

● General research into poetry presses.

● Creating form letters and other materials for promotional efforts.

Please reach out to will@wisdomhousebooks.com or lauren@wisdomhousebooks.com if interested.
