Pros

- Weekly(ish) sessions on the different aspects of publishing like contracts, bookstores, graphic novels, etc. - Great people to work with - interns treated like adults and frequently included in conversation - Truly care about your future career and helping you get somewhere - All interns offered a chance to do paid work, amounting to equivalent of a travel stipend

Cons

- The work can be very monotonous -- if you can't see yourself reading manuscripts almost all day every day, this is not the position for you - Unpaid, which makes inaccessible to many qualified applicants - Workload varied week to week; some weeks there would be no manuscripts and others 2 or 3 to get read in a 3 day span. I brought work home with me more than once
