Interns Speak Up! Candlewick Interns Share their Experiences

Shadin Al-Dossari, Publicity Intern:

Candlewick was my first real publishing internship. I had interned at a literary journal and a creative writing center, but my time at Candlewick really gave me a complete idea of what the book industry is like. The people who work at Candlewick truly do their best to help make themselves available to you, even for something as simple as chatting over a cup of coffee. The entire office environment is friendly; it felt so nice to be surrounded by people who are just as passionate about children’s literature as I am.

Through the warm and friendly publicity team I learned industry lingo I had never heard of, enhanced skills that were previously mediocre, and gained knowledge about different facets of the book world. Another fun part of the internship was the “Books We’re Reading” board, which is exclusively for the awesome people who make up Candlewick’s Publicity and Marketing department. The board is a fun way to get book recommendations, start a conversation about what others are reading, and is a cool way for interns to feel included.

Another time I consistently felt included was every Tuesday at 11 am. I was giddy because I got to sit in on the publicity meetings which were such a treat. During those meetings, I was almost spellbound by the mundane things that were discussed such as who would go to what conference, bulletin updates and our next pre-order campaign. I couldn’t help it, I was getting to see what went on behind the publicity door, no one else got to hear these things.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been given this internship opportunity and won’t forget the people I met here, nor the things I learned. Plus, what other publishing company has a ‘bring your dog to work’ day?

Shadin Al-Dossari is a WNDB grant recipient, Publicity intern at Candlewick Press, and a student in Emerson’s Writing, Literature and Publishing program. She’s an avid reader of all things, particularly YA and an enthusiastic hockey fan, as well as a part-time knitter.

Michaela Glover, Editorial Intern: As a WNDB Internship Grant 2018 recipient, my internship at Candlewick Press has been an enormous blessing and a great opportunity. When I first entered through the glass doors, I immediately saw the Candlewick bear made entirely out of legos.  Then I saw a huge wall of books on the left side of me and more books, just above the receptionist desk, to my right.  I knew from that moment that this internship was going to be fantastic. On that day, I met my supervisor, Melanie Cordova, and she was full of positivity and smiles. From then on my experience at Candlewick was just like my first day; it was filled with positive people, smiles, and beautiful books. The atmosphere was amazing and I loved how my opinion and thoughts were truly appreciated. I even made it onto one of the illustrator search meeting notes!

During my time at Candlewick Press, I wrote several reader’s reports and with Melanie’s guidance, I became a better writer. I learned to slow down and reflect on what I had written and learned to trust myself. Overall, the Candlewick experience was amazing and I would do it all over again.

Michaela Glover is a WNDB Grant Recipient and Editorial Intern at Candlewick Press. Michaela has recently graduated Cum laude majoring in English from the illustrious Spelman College. When Michaela is not reading, she’s learning ASL, performing the Moulin Rouge soundtrack at random times, and getting beat up by her 7-year-old niece, Nyla, frequently.

Mikaela Luke, School and Library Marketing Intern: When I meet up with friends after work, they often jokingly ask me if I spent the day reading. The truth is, I really do read a lot on the job. The office truly is decked out in colorful posters, my team is incredibly affirmative and incredibly stylish, and yes, there is a stack of picture books on my desk right now. I try to tone things down – out of kindness, of course, to my other college-aged friends with much more bleak cubicle spaces for the summer – because I know I’m lucky. As a sociable bookworm who loves all things cozy, a day job in book publishing is not just something I commute to with happy satisfaction. I wake up every day and revel in the perks.

But really, it isn’t just these perks of being in a homey office, where I feel so welcomed and myself in that contribute the most to this sense of gratitude. While out for a quick check-in over ice cream with my two supervisors one mid-internship afternoon, it dawned on me. I like working with children’s literature because we’re talking to librarians, teachers, instructors, parents, reviewers, award committees … all these different groups of non-children. It seems that inevitably, through books, we engage in a grander conversation about what we all want for the next generation and generations to come. As much as I soak in the luxury of being in a comfy bubble where nerding out about books is the norm – this much more serious, educational, dialogue-driven, visionary aspect of working in children’s publishing, to me, is the greatest perk of all.

Mikaela Luke is the School and Library Marketing intern at Candlewick Press and a fourth-year English student at UC Berkeley. When she isn’t chattering away about books or her home (and dog) in Canada, you can usually find her listening to podcasts, adding to her notebook collection, or shopping for gifts.
