Good news for book lovers- the annual paid Hachette Australia Summer Internship is now open for applications.
The program has been running since 2020 and provides “a broad understanding of the trade publishing business and a deep dive into how the various departments within a commercial publishing house work together to take books to market – and ultimately into the hands of readers,” Hachette said on it’s website.
The program will run for four months and is based in Sydney CBD. No experience is required and the internship may be used as course credit.
“A career in publishing is a career in one of the main creative industries, and is all about storytelling, regardless of your job,” Hachette said.
“Everyone who works for a publishing company makes a valuable contribution – whether the books they create are epic works of literary fiction, picture books that introduce children to their first words, intimate celebrity biographies, cookbooks full of tasty recipes, or textbooks that help kids of all ages at school and college.
“Everyone has a story to tell, and publishers help these stories to get told in the best way, in the best format.”
Applications close August 26. For more information see the Hachette careers page.
