Publishing Internship -- Dorothy, a publishing project

Dorothy, a publishing project--a nationally acclaimed independent press publishing works of innovative fiction--offers a one-year internship for an MFA student in any genre of creative writing. Students apply in the spring of their first year, to begin the internship the following fall. The intern chosen will work directly with the press's editors on mutually agreed upon projects that take into account the intern's interests and strengths. In general, however, the internship will involve hands-on work in editorial (e.g., reviewing submissions, writing reader's reports, copyediting manuscripts in layout) and marketing. The intern will also meet with the press's editors to discuss other aspects of the publishing process, and their name will appear on the press's masthead. Interested students should submit a letter of application and CV to Professor Riker(mriker@wustl.edu) and Program Director David Schuman (dschuman@wustl.edu) no later than April 1 of the spring semester of their first year. Prerequisite: Completion in good standing of the first year of the MFA in Creative Writing and accepted application.
