Students will have the opportunity to work with Media Manager, Monica Fernandez, and Deputy Director, Tobi Harper, at Red Hen Press.

They are committed to publishing works of literary excellence, supporting diversity, and promoting literacy in our local schools.

In collaboration with the Media & Marketing team, students will create, update, and manage documents, help identify best social media practices for marketing and publicity, and gain knowledge of book marketing and production. By the end of the externship, the students will produce and oversee the marketing and media campaign for a literary work.
