The internship is a great way to learn more about an agent’s work and decision-making process. Past interns have been writers, teachers, MFA students, and passionate readers.
You do not need to live in New York—this is a remote internship. We ask for a ten-hours-a-week commitment. Please note that it is unpaid.
The agency runs a monthly educational chat for all of our interns, led by a different agent/on a different topic each time. (Past and upcoming topics include: How publishers create marketing plans, Do we need literary agents anymore?, Digital and social publishing, Literary scouts: What do they do? What are the entry-level jobs in publishing?—we try to make them as useful as we can.) These are optional, and the days/times vary because all the interns have different 'day job' schedules.
TBA is looking for readers that love romance and all its super sexy subgenres, from contemporary to paranormal to historical and suspense—even young and new adult. Tell us which are your favorites as there are several positions open that require specific interests!
Interested?
1. Send an email to tba.reader@gmail.com and put "romance intern" in the subject line.
2. Tell us why you want the internship and something about yourself. Please include a resume if you have one (although it's not necessary).
3. Include two lists: the last ten romance books you've read and your top ten favorite romance books of all time.

If you've applied in the past, you're welcome to apply again. We usually get a great many applicants and the application period will close fairly quickly; watch this space for details! 
Are we able to apply for both internships if we are interested? I understand that I can probably only do one but I'm interested in both.
