Enrolled in publishing, communications, or related program; must be able to receive academic credit.
Familiarity with basic publishing or production concepts (style sheets, page proofs, ISBNs, metadata) is helpful; we will provide training.
Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and comfort managing multiple deadlines.
Reliable, proactive, and open to feedback for remote collaboration via Zoom/Trello/Google Drive.
Direct, hands-on exposure to the real-world production cycle at an independent press.
Portfolio-ready experience credited on CasaCarlini.com and retailer listings (production acknowledgments where appropriate).

Mentorship from publishing professionals, free books, and references; flexible remote hours with a supportive, book-loving team.
