Ways With Words

Up to 4 full-time internships are offered in a small, lively office organising one of the largest and most prestigious literature festivals in Britain. This is an opportunity to gain experience in all areas - box office, press, organisation of the events (writer’s travel and accommodation etc) in a busy atmosphere leading up to the festival, and then be part of the team co-ordinating the festival office, meeting writers, selling tickets, advising customers etc during the festival itself (11 - 20 July). The pace is hectic and there is a fair amount of routine work - but we do share it between us. We will welcome your particular interests but we do all need to do a bit of everything. Reasonable computer literacy is an advantage (we work on Apple Macs) as is a good phone manner. Interns should be available to work until 21 July, starting 16 May (though start-date is flexible). We can offer good all-round experience if you want to go into arts administration or publishing; a valuable addition to your CV. (Our last intern moved from our office to become a full-time journalist at the Independent on Sunday) Salary: none. Lunch and travel expenses provided.
