Job Description

Children’s Editorial, Design, and Marketing/Publicity Intern - Stonefruit Studio (New York, NY)

Ready to launch your career in book publishing? Join Sourcebooks, the fastest growing publisher in the U.S., and the home of an unparalleled number of bestselling books where creativity, innovation, and storytelling collide. We’re a team of passionate book lovers who bring extraordinary authors to readers in bold, data-driven, and entrepreneurial ways. 

👉 This isn’t a coffee-run internship. You’ll contribute meaningfully to projects, collaborate with publishing professionals, and discover how your ideas can impact readers everywhere. 

This internship is ideal for a current college student or recent graduate eager to dive into the world of book publishing — especially the side that connects books with media, events, and promotion with the readers. You’ll get hands-on experience working on real publicity campaigns, collaborating with passionate team members, and you’ll learn how publicity helps stories reach new audiences.

  • Where: New York, NY ($20/hourly) 
  • Schedule: 24 hours/week (2 days in-person, 1 day remote)

This internship offers a rare opportunity to work and learn across different departments within one imprint. You will support members of the Children’s Editorial team, Design, and Marketing/Publicity at Stonefruit Studio—an imprint that publishes board books, picture books, middle grade, graphic novels, and young adult novels. Potential responsibilities will include:

Editorial:
  • Reading and evaluating submissions; writing reader’s reports
  • Providing editorial feedback on acquired projects
  • Writing flap and catalog copy
  • Comp title research
Design:
  • Sales materials assets (3-dimensional mockups, flat lays for social media)

  • Why publishing — and why Sourcebooks — excites you 
  • What you hope to learn and contribute 
  • How your creativity, curiosity, or love of books shines through 
*Applications without a cover letter won’t be considered, so take the time to tell your story!
