I spent the Summer of 2026 interning with Zando, an independent book publishing company dedicated to diverse and underrepresented voices in literature. Though I knew I was most interested in editorial work, I chose to participate in their new rotational program, which allowed me to work in four departments: sales, publicity, editorial, and marketing. 

                 My coworkers and I made content for the company in marketing, and help with publicity campaigns. In the editorial department, I had the opportunity to work as an assistant: reading submissions and writing draft passes and emails for one of the company's editors. This was something I thoroughly enjoyed.
