DESCRIPTION: The editorial intern works with editors in the MNHS Press (book publishing); MNopedia (the online encyclopedia of Minnesota history), and Minnesota History (quarterly peer-reviewed magazine). Each function has specific editorial needs, but our work processes overlap as we acquire manuscripts for publication, evaluate their quality, diagnose editorial tasks, work with authors to improve the text, and perform copyediting and proofing as the manuscripts move through production. Because much of the hiring in publishing houses relies on recommendations made by those who work at other publishing houses, this internship is intended to attract candidates who otherwise would not have access to publishing—and thus to increase the diversity and inclusivity of the industry.


RESPONSIBILITIES: 1) Press: evaluate proposals and manuscripts; participate in development discussions; assist with copyediting and proofing; carry out photo research for Press titles; fact-check manuscripts; write and review metadata; other tasks as needed; 2) Minnesota History: fact-check articles and endnotes; perform photo research; write/compile book notes for Take Three feature; log and acknowledge article submissions; review select article submissions; 3) MNopedia: identify broken links; fact-check entries; research images; write an entry; 4) Attend editorial, acquisitions, launch, and production meetings to observe and contribute to the publishing process; 5) Assist with mailings and database maintenance, take editing test, set up and do informational interviews.


QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student, or have graduated within the past 12 months at the time of application.

  • Ideal candidates might be currently pursuing, or have graduated with a degree in the following areas: English, history, anthropology, journalism, American studies, or related field

  • Familiarity with or willingness to learn Microsoft Word and Excel, Google Docs, FileMaker Pro, and other software applications, as well as MNHS library procedures.

  • Ability to research, write, and communicate clearly and accurately.

  • Ability to track details.

  • Comfortable with taking on multiple tasks and working with more than one supervisor.
