All internships are unpaid.

Interns at Fantagraphics receive the opportunity to learn about the comics-publishing process; they also gain knowledge of various aspects comics industry (the differences between the comic-shop market and the bookstore market, distribution, creator’s rights, etc.). Please be advised that all comics are created off-site: interns do not write or draw comics during internship hours, although if someone in the office has the spare time, they're often happy to critique independent projects completed outside of the internship. In fact, no one at the office writes, draws, pencils, inks or letters comics during business hours. Interns' hours are scheduled during the Monday-Friday 10:00-6:00 time period. A minimum of 10 hours a week is required.

Art Department internships have been filled for the indefinite future. Marketing interns assist our publicist by updating databases, proofreading copy and maintaining press files. Editorial interns research, proofread, transcribe and practice journalistic writing. All interns spend a certain amount of time filing, sending out mass mailings, photocopying and helping out in the library.

Be advised that the office contains a large variety of comics material, so you will come across sexually explicit content. In light of this, we strongly encourage only people over 18 to apply.

If there are a large volume of applicants for a specific time slot, there is a selection process involved.

We are looking for a Marketing intern to start right away! If you're social, articulate, and interested in learning how to promote comics to both the press and general public please send your resume and cover letter to cohen "at" fantagraphics.com.
