Milkweed Launches Fellowship Program
Milkweed Editions has launched the Milkweed Fellowship, a paid, 1-2 year immersion program designed to offer a comprehensive experience in book publishing for individuals who may not otherwise have access or means to pursue a career in the industry. The learning-oriented position, the publisher said, "seeks to provide entry to those historically underrepresented among workers in book publishing—Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA+, and those with disabilities—so they may advance, discover, and champion transformative literature for years to come." The fellows will be based in Milkweed's Minneapolis offices, and the position is full-time (non-exempt, 40 hours per week, for 12–24 months) and begins in September 2019. Compensation includes a salary of $30,000 per year, "generous" paid time off, and health and dental benefits. Applications are now open via Submittable, and will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. CT on Thursday, June 6, 2019. Click here for more information.
