The WLT provides hands-on experience for student interns who are pursuing a degree in English, communications, creative writing, marketing, public relations, journalism, event planning, or related fields. Interns typically work for a four-month (semester-long) period, approximately 8 to 10 hours a week, depending on need and availability. This internship is hybrid. While it is not a requirement we strongly prefer people who can make it in-person to the office at least once a week. All internships come with a stipend for the semester and, with early enough notice, can be structured to qualify for course credit as needed.
What interns will gain:
• Experience in event planning (if they overlap with planning dates for the annual A&E Conference, the Summer Writing Retreat, or other special events);
• A firsthand look at a nonprofit organization and how it works, including planning programs, fundraising, member services, marketing & promotion;
• An understanding of the larger publishing industry as well as an introduction to the literary community in Texas and beyond.
Internship positions:
• Program Intern: You will create content for the Scribe blog, create email campaigns, manage surveys, and create promotional materials for classes and events. You will gain experience in online spaces like Constant Contact, Canva, and WordPress.
• Marketing & Publicity Intern: You’ll create content for our Instagram and Facebook accounts to promote classes and special events. You’ll create graphics, gather promotional materials, and attend local in-person events.
To apply for an internship, please send an electronic version of a resume and cover letter to wlt@writersleague.org.
