Do you want to learn how a nonfiction business/career book is researched and written?  As my summer intern, you will be responsible for screening interview candidates, soliciting questionnaires, and setting up phone discussions with the people who will be profiled in my new book on career changers to be published by Random House in September 2009.  Other possibilities for your work include writing interview summaries and assisting with the promotion of my existing books.

My intern should be self-motivated, personable, articulate, and able to work independently.  He or she may live anywhere in the country but must be able to devote 5-10 business hours a week from June-August/September.  High-speed Internet and long distance phone access, which I will in part subsidize, are essential.  Other compensation is not financial.  You will receive a letter of recommendation, an acknowledgement in the published book, and help crafting a resume that strongly highlights the value of the internship.

If you’re interested, please send your resume and a cover e-mail (to alexandra_levit@hotmail.com, before 2/15) detailing why you think this internship would be a good experience.  Thanks – I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
