INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

A Public Space is accepting applications for summer internships on a rolling basis. The internship program provides practical experience in critical reading, research, copyediting, and fact-checking; marketing and publicity, including social media and events; and an overview of an independent nonprofit literary organization as well as an introduction to the publishing community.

To apply for one of these positions, please upload (as one file): (1) a completed application (see below); and (2) your résumé.   

Interns will work on their own schedule, and will have responsibilities of approximately fifteen hours weekly. While the start date is flexible, Interns must be able to make an eight-week commitment. Remote applicants are welcome but must be able to attend two weekly remote/virtual meetings during regular office hours. Interns based in New York City will have the opportunity to attend staff meetings in-person and participate in events in the city. Interns receive compensation of $2,000.

Please note that poetry, fiction, and nonfiction submitted to the magazine via this Submittable category will not be considered.
