Literary Arts administrative internship

Literary Arts internships provide the opportunity to see the inside of a nonprofit organization, learn how our programs work and about Oregon’s literary community. Interns also gain experience in a professional office environment.

Interns assist staff with general office operations and specific program needs. Tasks vary depending on the skills and goals of each intern. Responsibilities may include:

• answering telephones

• taking and processing ticket orders

• archiving print media

• assembling mailings

• researching authors

• editing and proofreading

• processing Oregon Book Awards and Oregon Literary Fellowships applications

• synthesizing program evaluations

• assisting with the Writers in the Schools anthology

We ask that interns commit to 8-10 hours per week for at least one semester or three months. Scheduling is flexible. Interns must be detail-oriented with strong communication skills.

We depend on our interns to take initiative and to be able to work independently as well as with staff. Internships are unpaid but work-study or class credit can be arranged.
