The National Geographic Books Department is seeking a full or part-time intern for fall 2010. During the internship the student will have the opportunity to learn from the NGS Books Design team as well as other teams throughout the division. This involvement will ensure that he/she will get a full, well-rounded vision of book publishing, from the start of the project to the finish.
