Role overview

Join Sourcebooks, the fastest growing publisher in the U.S., where creativity, innovation, and storytelling collide. This isn't a coffee-run internship -- you'll contribute to real projects, collaborate with publishing professionals, and see how your work impacts readers everywhere. What you study doesn't matter: we're looking for your curiosity, your drive to learn, and your interest in books.

The Sourcebooks Data Team is looking for a curious, detail-oriented student to support our work turning publishing data into insight. Projects vary by season, so you'll pitch in wherever the team's priorities land in the fall -- this could include reporting, analysis, dashboarding, or data infrastructure work, depending on what's on our plate.

Qualifications

Curious, proactive attitude and comfort with ambiguity as priorities shift
A genuine interest in books and publishing
