Reviews

Editorial Intern

September 2022 - November 2022 Detroit, MI
“I like that it is remote and I can work at my own pace during the day. I usually work about two hours daily, Monday through Saturday. During the college term, the hours are 10 to 15 a week. I rarely worked near or above that 15.”

Editorial Intern

June 2019 - August 2019 Allendale, MI
“Michelle Dotter, the internship coordinator, was incredibly knowledgeable about all things publishing. She spent weekly Skype calls going in depth about the different aspects of the publishing field and taught us little tips and tricks to get our foot in the door. The internship work itself provided interns with the opportunity to look at writing in a new lens, both from a publishing and marketing perspective, and challenged us to think in different perspectives. ”
