Work for Us
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting Brink staffers, you’ll quickly learn that almost every one of them was an intern once upon a time. By growing our staff team in this way, we raise up new and underrepresented voices within the heart of our organization. While our internships are a great way to get a crash course in the literary industry, they can often provide a path to what can become a long and rewarding professional relationship.
Interning at Brink was one of the best experiences of my life. I am graduating from this internship with new skills, but I am also taking with me a more informed perspective about how I can channel my own love for literature and storytelling to create positive, meaningful change in my community. Witnessing how well programs & staffers alike embody Brink’s mission gives me so much hope for a more just, equitable, and inclusive future.

Fall 2023 Intern
I don’t think I could have gotten any luckier, having Brink as my first publishing internship. Not only is what they stand for amazing, but the way they take care in how they do their work is too. The way they’ve taught me as an intern and treated me as part of the team is something I will never forget. I now have more skills than I know what to do with and have come across so many networking possibilities previously unimaginable. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have had this opportunity.

Fall 2023 Intern
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be exposed to all aspects of the publishing industry, from editorial to marketing to production, and learn so many useful new skills. Brink’s staff is incredibly warm, supportive, and friendly, and guided me through the internship process while providing me with valuable individualized feedback along every step of the way. I know that I will bring the skills I’ve acquired to future opportunities.
