[Editor’s Note: Edinburgh Napier University has a Work Placement module for Postgraduate Publishing students. Go to our Home page to find out more about our student’s experiences on their publishing work placement.]
Summer placements and internships have been on my mind for a good few months! I’ve come up with a list of the best websites to get information and help on applying for internships and placements within the UK. (Hope this can shed some light on difficult decisions!)
www.myinternship.co.uk – just type in Publishing and links will appear with info on the company, etc.

Edinburgh Napier offer Publishing Work Placements for BA (Hons) students in their 4th year and for all Postgraduate Publishing students. These include work placements at magazine and book publishing houses (trade and journal, adult and children’s publishers); placements with literary agents, design agencies, printers… all the core and support services connected to the publishing industry. Many of our students have secured employment as a direct result of these work placements.
