Job Summary:

Editorial interns apprentice on tasks directly related to comic book production under the supervision of Marvel editors. An average day will find interns learning the ropes of how their favorite Marvel comics are made: collecting reference materials and performing research, formatting scripts, setting up book maps, writing recap pages and checking lettered comics for corrections. Diligent interns will have opportunities to review color and line art, advise on the placement of lettering and gain practice giving script notes. This virtual internship will provide hands-on mentorship from editors as well as a broader exposure to other departments within Marvel Publishing.

Responsibilities:

We are looking for strong writers with an eye for detail—editorial interns write recap and solicitation text, help lay out print comics and act as another set of eyes all the way from the script through to the completed book. Interns also assist with research into story and art continuity for our writers and artists. Successful interns are self-motivated, are able to manage their time effectively and have a love of Marvel comics.
