"The experience has been wonderful, and I have learned a lot! Working on the reader reviews was illuminating. It forced me to really look at the piece being submitted and gave me a much better feel for what constitutes a good story or poem. It also made me analyze the effectiveness of lines, images, dialog, and plots. I truly loved doing the developmental editing. It is satisfying to watch the story come together."
—Robin Weage, editorial intern
"The book design and production internship at Ink & Paper Group was outstanding: unequivocal guidance amidst a dynamic collegial environment, and...design freedom! Birthing graphic punch on a book cover was like the thrill of skydiving—hair-raising and outside the box. A bestseller on the intern list!"
—Laura Dewing, design intern
"I loved being an intern for Ink and Paper Group. I was challenged with a variety of tasks: acquisitions editing, developmental editing (working with the author to improve a piece and make it publishable), and line editing. I enjoyed communicating with our authors and exploring all the sides of being an editor. Perhaps most important, however, was the, way I felt about working with the rest of the team. Ink and Paper Group has an excellent employee morale and a warm, nurturing atmosphere. David Cowsert, CEO, truly strived to work with me on personalizing my job description so that I would learn all aspects of the job that I wanted to learn. He and Linda Meyer, COO, both provided me with constructive feedback and treated me with respect at all times. I feel that this internship has been an asset to my resume, and set an amazing foundation for my career as an editor."
—Laura Meehan, editorial intern
