Looking for Video Content & Author Assets Intern

Unsolicited Press is seeking a detail-oriented, creative intern to help transform our Literary Night events and previous author recordings into high-quality video content and promotional assets for our authors. This role is ideal for someone interested in publishing, digital media, and storytelling, and who wants hands-on experience building content that actually gets used.

What You’ll Do

• Edit recordings from live and recorded virtual events

• Cut 3–5 short clips per event (20–45 seconds, vertical)

• Create 1 polished longer excerpt (1–3 minutes)

• Add captions (required for all clips)

• Format videos for Instagram Reels

• Organize and deliver assets to authors via Google Drive

• (Optional) Schedule or assist with posting content

What We’re Looking For

• Strong attention to detail (this matters more than speed)

• Basic video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, or similar)

• Understanding of short-form content (Reels/TikTok)

• Ability to follow a clear system and hit deadlines

• Interest in books, publishing, or literary work

Time Commitment

• ~5–10 hours per week depending on volume and how excited you are to make it happen!

What You’ll Get

• Real portfolio work (published content tied to real books)

• Direct experience with an independent press

• Opportunity to grow into a larger content or marketing role

To Apply

Send:

• A short note about why you’re interested

• 1–3 examples of video work (even simple edits are fine)

• Email Summer at info@Unsolicitedpress.com. Tell her what’s your favorite thing to eat at the movies.
