Cheers to the final post in our intern spotlight series! Thank you for tuning in thus far. We hope these posts have given you a glimpse into who our interns are, but this is not the last you’ll be seeing of the interns. These posts have all been leading up to our intern edition of Bookmarked. There, you’ll find the titles our interns have been reading this summer, music they’ve been listening to, and more.

“As interns on the Corporate Communications team, we have learned so much about the different aspects of Penguin Random House and the publishing industry. We joined a small, tight-knit team that has allowed us to directly contribute to amazing projects, such as the Creative Writing Awards, San Diego Comic-Con, and OurHouse content. Our goal for the upcoming intern-focused content is to shed some light on who we are and why this next generation is looking forward to working in publishing and with you all. We hope you enjoy the incredible stories of the 2023 intern cohort from their time at PRH!” – Chelsea Kaneshiro & Ciara McKay

Read on as Elise shares about what it’s like being an intern at PRH.
