North Atlantic Books

From June 2015 to September 2015 I was the Acquisitions and Editorial intern at North Atlantic Books.

I read, recommended, and rejected submissions; critiqued proposed books and manuscript drafts; selected excerpts from books for press releases; proofread manuscripts; and checked proofreader corrections.

“James was very professional in all of his dealings: he was prompt, serious, and respectful, and yet he is also not afraid to speak his mind. He has an exceptional ability to see the merits and faults of a particular text and communicate this cogently in writing and in speaking. James is also a very good proofreader. He’s truly one of the best interns I’ve ever had.”
