internships and work placements
We host placements frequently to assist young people interested in a career in publishing to experience key publishing tasks from editing to marketing. This is real and valuable experience, and interns will be involved in the production and sale of books from the first stages of reviewing prospective manuscripts, through to editing and illustration, followed by promotion of the physical books (and e-books) via launch events, social media and here on our website.
Your work and contribution will be greatly valued, however we are unable to offer payment for work experience. It is recommended that interns dedicate from six to twenty hours a week to their placement, to get the most out of it. This depends on your circumstances. Students undertaking a placement as part of their studies might wish to commit to between six and ten hours, whereas others may be able to do more. Flexible remote working will be facilitated, and we welcome applicants situated overseas.
If an internship or work place with Scotland Street Press seems an exciting prospect to you, send us your CV and a covering letter:
Scotland Street Press is a small, independent publisher of fiction, history, poetry, biography and translation based in Edinburgh. But our size and our independence give us the freedom to champion stories we believe need to be told and voices that need to be heard.
The history of our publishing house gives us substance and has left us embedded in literary heritage. We have grown out of literary tradition, which we take seriously but wear lightly, with the confidence in who we are to explore new things. Scotland Street Press is small but mighty: as at home on the international stage as we are your local indie bookshop.
We celebrate individuality, prioritise women’s writing and continually seek to include more diverse authors. We publish interesting, varied, challenging voices who have good stories to tell, and in doing so bring Scotland into an international conversation. We are brave and take risks by publishing new and unheard voices.
Rita has a Masters in Loyalty and Dedication. She sits at our feet, lies by the submissions pile and leaps on the lap of surprised visitors. We rely on her deep thoughts and objective position as a non human.
