DLG Publishing Partners prides itself not only for having ‘a passion for diverse content’ and striving to foster the growth of their authors, but also in the professional development, success, and educational opportunities of its team. We, here at DLG, are ecstatic to offer internship programs for qualified individuals who are serious about learning the Publishing Industry, as well as becoming a part of our family.
*Note: internships are virtually located and unpaid.
How does it work? DLG Internship Programs work in a two-part segment:
- 1st Segment: interns engage in a trial period (30-days) and are subject to a mentor driven review process at the end of the designated term. Following a positive metric review, the internship may roll into one of two categories: four (4) to six (6) month terms with weekly progress reports and midterm reviews.
- 2nd Segment: at the completion of the four (4) to six (6) month term, the internship is subject to completion with company recommendation; however, DLG may consider extending an internship period, offer a cross-training internship, or promoting the individual, depending on his or her readiness and acquired skillset within the training process, as well as the designated mentors’ ability to take on an Apprentice.
Intern Duties
DLG will post occasional notices when considering new interns, especially for select project, but applicants may apply for listed intern programs at any time by sending a cover letter, resume, and a ‘statement of interest’.
Please include the internship type you’re applying for in the email subject line and in the reference field, as well as your qualifications, goals, relevant experience(s), expectations, and proven skillset(s) that make you a suitable candidate.
In the ‘statement of interest’, please list your all-time favorite books (5-10), the titles you most recently read (3-5), what’s on your reading wish list (2-5), and what categories/genres/ages you specialize in, as well as all related social media links.
