When Gabriel Garcia Marquez completed One Hundred Years of Solitude in 1966, his wife had to pawn her hair dryer and their electric heater to pay for the postage to mail the finished manuscript which was then published at eight thousand copies. The book has since sold over 30 million copies and can be read in more than thirty languages.

If you're a passionate reader, an excellent writer, a confident speaker, an eager and consummate assistant, if you're readily up to a tough schedule that just barely fits in lunch (where you'll meet senior executives to discuss key topics-no point in idling away useful time), and are eager to learn about the author's voice, publicity campaigns, production schedules and more - then you belong on our team. The internship is the chance-the experience is all you.

Spend a summer in the City as a HarperCollins Publishers intern. We are looking for 10 future publishing superstars for the class of Summer 2008.

  • Rotate through various departments and learn many aspects of the publishing process during this ten week period. Have lunch with the best in bookmaking.
  • Develop a book concept and pitch it to a panel of executives.
  • Application deadline is March 23rd, 2008.

Qualifications:
