Internship Programme
People do go out of their way to be helpful in setting you up in the industry.
Felicity Blunt, literary agent
I established the roots of a professional network that has been incredibly valuable.
Jean Hannah Edelstein, author
I've gained a huge amount of valuable experience in all aspects of the film and TV industries.
Jessica Coleman, agents' assistant
Everyone starts somewhere - could you start here?
Media and publishing are amongst the most popular career choices for
graduates, yet often these industries can seem like a closed shop for
those who don't already have experience or contacts.
We offer bright and energetic first-timers an opportunity
to discover what agencies are all about. Our internship programme gives
graduates an introduction to the world of agenting in our Books,
Theatre Film and Television, Presenters and Actors departments.
The internships last for 12 weeks and you will work with
agents and their assistants to gain hands-on experience of literary and talent agenting,
publishing and the media. You should have good administrative
skills and genuine enthusiasm for and interest in the industry.
You also get paid £216 per week, payable in arrears on the
last working day of each month, directly into your bank account. In
return, we ask that you work from 9.30 to 5.30 (with an hour for lunch)
and that you commit to stay here for the full 12 weeks.
Finally, you must also be either a British citizen or have
a valid work permit, and you must be a graduate or currently studying
as an undergraduate. Unfortunately, we are unable to help interns with
work permits, and we can't help you with finding accommodation. You
will need to make your own arrangements to live in the Greater London
area during your placement.
