THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK REVIEW IAN POTTER FOUNDATION EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP

Australian Book Review, based in Melbourne, seeks applications for an
Editorial Intern to help edit, produce and present Australia’s foremost independent
literary magazine. This is a perfect opportunity for recent university graduates seeking
an entrée into publishing.

This Internship – worth $20,000 and supported by The Ian Potter Foundation – is one
of the few intensive, paid editorial training programs of its kind in Australian publishing.
It reflects ABR’s long-standing commitment to fostering new editorial talent, and
extends the magazine’s established volunteer intern program; widely regarded
as a ‘finishing school’ for editing and publishing graduates.

ABR is a small and hard-working organisation, with a profound commitment to
new writing and literary values. This is an excellent opportunity to refine your
editorial skills and to work closely with leading writers and editors.

These donations are vital for the magazine’s future.

‘The best journal of words and ideas. Supporters can be proud of their judgement.’
