Hey GEMs! 💎 Welcome to Part 2 of our internship roundup. In part one, (see below 👇🏾)
we went over tips for applying and making your applications stand out. Now, I’m giving you a taste of actual internships that are open right now — just a handful because, honestly, HarperCollins alone has so many postings I’d need a whole other blog just for them 😅.
Consider this your starting point — I’ll keep adding more opportunities from other publishers as they’re announced.
Remember: the key is to apply early, pick roles that genuinely interest you, and show your personality. Now, let’s get into it!
