Internships: Just so you know, Folio has a fantastic internship
program for both local and remote interns. Each intern is assigned
to one agent, based on common areas of interest, but meets all of our
agents during Intern Academy, a weekly seminar which teaches
publishing through an agent’s perspective, covering topics such as
editing, contract negotiation, and foreign rights, as well as
teaching interns how to hone their pitching skills by presenting
their own book ideas. Many of our interns have gone on to find
full-time jobs in publishing, including positions that open up at
Folio.
