Hi all,
I'm looking for some reader interns, and thought there might be someone in the CCBC-Net community who's interested. Information about the positions are posted below, and you can also check the information posted on our agency blog, http://jennybent.blogspot.com/.
Many thanks!
Two Reader Internships are Open, for MG/YA and Picture Books
We’re looking for two interns, one to focus on MG & YA and the other to focus on Picture Books.
If you like books by the following authors and illustrators please be in touch:
*Young Adult / Middle Grade Picture Books*
MT Anderson
Isabelle Arsenault
Franny Billingsley
Sophie Blackall
Gennifer Choldenko Brian Floca
Jack Gantos
Marla Frazee
Polly Horvath Jon Klassen
Patrick Ness
Renata Liwska
Rainbow Rowell
Sergio Ruzzier
Rebecca Stead
Philip C. Stead
Tim Tharp Ezra David Stein
Anne Ursu Tomi Ungerer
Here are the details:
· The internships are unpaid and remote, so you can work from anywhere. A treehouse, in your pajamas, in the middle of the night, for instance.
· No publishing experience is necessary. We’re looking for dedicated readers who have a strong knowledge of kids’ books.
· You will need to dedicate 8-10 hours a week for this position.
The internship is a great way to learn more about an agent’s work and decision-making process. Readers will read submissions and send reports to me, with their thoughts on the book. Past interns have been writers for children, children’s librarians, elementary school teachers, MFA students, and passionate readers.
To apply, send an email to kidsintern_at_gmail.com with the following information:
· Please put either “MG/YA Internship” or “Picture Book Internship” in the subject line.
· Tell us why you’d like the position.
· Include a bit of information about yourself, including any relevant experience you have. Attach a resume if you’d like to, though it’s not necessary.
· List the last 10 books you’ve read in either YA/MG or Picture Books, depending on what you’re applying for.
· List your 10 all-time favorite books in either YA/MG or Picture Books. (You can always throw in a few others that aren’t in the category too, if you hate to leave something out).
We usually receive quite a few applicants and the application period will close fairly quickly; watch the blog and twitter

Thank you!
