Become an Umbrage Intern:
Each semester and summer (June through August), Umbrage offers a part-time internship to one or two highly qualified college students or recent graduates. The job description involves a wide variety of activities, including general writing, library and other research on new titles, picture research, sequencing and layout, caption and flap copy creation, printing and production liaison, as well as general office work, including reception tasks, office assistance, and errands.
The ideal applicant will have excellent writing, researching, and editing skills, be comfortable on the phone, and be interested in current affairs, art, photography, human rights, publishing, web sites, museum work, or marketing. We require a commitment of a minimum of two days per week during the semester and are ideally looking for a full-time commitment during the summer months.
Interns must be willing and able to multi-task in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment. The ideal candidate will be organized, patient, and eager to jump feet-first into chaos. Macintosh computer skills a must (helpful are: MS Office Suite, InDesign, Photoshop). Proofreading, and Copyediting experience useful. This is a fairly non-hierarchical space so we expect that everyone will pitch in to use their special skills. Please send a cover letter telling us a little bit about yourself and why you are interested in publishing, along with a resume, to Nan Richardson at nan@umbragebooks.com or fax it to (212) 965-0276.
