Interview with the 2024 Open Book Interns



Gain experience

There’s more than one way to work in publishing. From large commercial publishing houses, to indie and educational presses, you’ll find out what it’s like working in a range of organisations across the industry.

Learn collectively

Learning is better together. Throughout your internship you’ll undertake placements alongside a cohort of interns, so you can share knowledge and experiences.

Be supported

Stepping into any workplace, it’s important to feel as safe, supported and prepared as possible. That’s why you’ll be supported by a mentor, who’ll be on hand to guide you through your internship.

Open Book: Australian Publishing Internship has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
