| Description: | Are you looking for a dynamic educational internship and the chance to learn from agents whose interests you share on work that really matters? CMA interns learn to evaluate manuscript submissions, develop editorial suggestions for improving manuscripts and nonfiction book proposals, write pitch letters, and navigate the ins and outs of publishing contracts.
CMA is happy to offer both remote internships as well as traditional in-office internships. We are located in the Richmond, VA area—transportation to a home office is necessary for in-office interns. Our mandatory Intern Academy meetings take place twice a month via conference call. We require a minimum time commitment of 16 hours each week. Although we are flexible, we look for a full semester commitment. You may visit us online at www.cmalit.com to learn more about our agency! |
