New York, NY — June 28, 2026 — Casa Carlini is proud to spotlight its publishing internship program, a hands-on educational initiative the company has run successfully for several years in partnership with colleges, universities, and other institutions around the world. Built to help students entering the publishing industry learn the fundamentals of the business, the program offers practical experience across multiple areas of publishing while connecting academic study to real editorial, operational, and creative work.
Based remotely out of New York and typically structured around a 10–12 week term that can align with an academic calendar, the program is designed to give students professional exposure while remaining flexible for institutional credit requirements. Casa Carlini currently lists internship openings across a range of functions, including Administrative & Publishing, Book Cover Design, Book Formatting, Bookkeeping, Data Engineer, and Donor & Grant Development, reflecting the many disciplines that support a modern independent press.
The internship program is designed to introduce students to how publishing actually works: not only acquiring and shaping books, but also managing design, production, administration, development, and digital operations. Book Cover Design interns, for example, produce stunning covers that go on to appear on shelves in bookstores around the world—a tangible, lasting result of their work. Administrative interns work directly alongside the publisher and authors, following a book from concept to publication, gaining hands-on experience with contracts, marketing, and the many moving parts that bring a title to life. By working across these functions, interns gain practical experience that can strengthen both their academic training and their readiness for careers in publishing, communications, design, nonprofit work, and adjacent creative industries.
Casa Carlini requires that internships be completed for academic credit or be formally sponsored by the student's institution. In some cases, schools may also provide a stipend to support the internship experience, a model commonly used by colleges and universities for credit-bearing placements. Casa Carlini works with students and sponsoring institutions on required paperwork so that the internship can serve as a genuine educational experience as well as a professional one.
"Publishing is learned best not only from books, but from participation," said Charles Carlini, founder of Casa Carlini. "This program is about giving students a serious introduction to the industry—how books move from idea to finished object, how teams collaborate, and how creative work and business realities meet."
Students and institutions interested in learning more are encouraged to explore current openings and apply directly for the role that best fits their skills at https://casacarlini.com/pages/hiring/careers. Casa Carlini invites prospective interns to review the full list of available positions and submit their application through the site.
