Macmillan Publishers is currently offering paid, part-time, remote internship opportunities for Spring 2025. Those hired locally will be given the opportunity to come into the office, if interested. Internships will be available in areas such as Editorial, Marketing/Digital Marketing, Publicity, Art & Design, Sales, Managing/Production Editorial, Production, Publishing Operations, Subrights, Creative Services, and Author Events.

Interns in our program will become familiar with the basic structure of the department/team and gain a general understanding of the key roles the particular trade/shared services function plays in a publishing house. Interns will be provided with the opportunity to participate in job-related assignments, gain practical work experience, and network with employees from various departments — all virtually.

Interns will work no more than 25 hours per week. Internships start on February 3, 2025  and will continue through May 9, 2025. If needed, there may be some flexibility in regards to the duration of the internship.

The Macmillan spring internship program is available to candidates who have graduated high school, are over the age of 18, are eligible to work in the U.S. and aspire to pursue a career in the publishing industry. Applicants who identify with groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the publishing industry [including but not limited to: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veterans and people with disabilities] are strongly encouraged to apply.
