TBA is looking for interns!

We are once again looking for interns! Specifically, we're looking for people who enjoy books by authors such as:

- Erin Morgenstern
- Tana French
- Eleanor Brown
- Jacqueline Sheehan
- Jodi Picoult
- Gillian Flynn
- Lori Roy
- Laurie Notaro
- Celia Rivenbark
- Elin Hilderbrand
- Kristin Hannah
- Jeannette Walls
- Kate Atkinson

This is an eclectic list, so obviously you don't need to like everyone on it. But basically, you should like at least two of the following genres: humor, memoir, upmarket women's fiction and literary suspense. (Please do not apply if you are primarily a young adult/middle-grade reader.)

You don't need to have any kind of publishing experience or even publishing aspirations. We're just looking for people who love books and love to read. You do not need to live in New York; our internships are remote. We ask for a commitment of at least a ten hours a week. Please note that our internships are unpaid.

To apply, please email intern@thebentagency.com and put "Generalist Intern" in the subject line. Tell us:

  • Why you want the internship
  • The last ten books you've read
  • Your ten favorite books

Attach a résumé if you have one, although it's not essential.

If you've applied for an internship with TBA in the past, you're more than welcome to apply again.

We look forward to hearing from you!
