| Company Name: | CREATIVE MEDIA AGENCY, INC. |
| Description: | Are you looking for a dynamic internship and the chance to work closely with an agent whose interests you share on work that really matters? CMA interns often evaluate manuscript submissions, edit manuscripts and nonfiction book proposals, write pitch letters, communicate with authors and editors, and learn the ins and outs of publishing contracts.
CMA is happy to offer both remote internships as well as traditional in-office internships. We are located in the Richmond, VA area—transportation to a home office is necessary for in-office interns. There will be one mandatory staff meeting twice a month via conference call. We require a minimum of 16 hours each week. Although we are flexible, we look for a full semester commitment; our summer internship will run from mid-May to late-August. You may visit us online at www.cmalit.com! |
| Length of Internship: | Summer semester - mid-May to late August |

| Application Due Date: | Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until our roster is filled. |
