Closing date: 18th May 2025
Salary: £27,000 pro rata
We’re looking for an enthusiastic designer/illustrator with a passion to learn more about the world of book cover design. No specific qualifications or training required.
Little, Brown's identity is personified by our innovative, dynamic and free-thinking people. Across our thirteen imprints, you won't find a wider range of titles anywhere in UK publishing. We pride ourselves on quality and diversity. A repeat recipient of the Publisher of the Year award, we're one of the most successful and dynamic publishers in the UK.
Little, Brown is a division of Hachette, one of the largest publishing groups in the UK, with 11 publishing divisions and over 60 imprints. Everyone here is proud to be in the business of opening doors and minds.
What you'll be doing
You’ll become an active member of the design team for the duration of the internship. The focus of your work during this time will be completing a live brief as much as is feasible in the time. From first visuals, through the feedback stage and to have a final print-ready cover.
You will also be tasked with other jobs which would likely include:
- Shadowing designers on live projects,
- Attending cover visual and briefing meetings,
- Picture researching,
- Art-working visuals to meet production standards
- Meeting colleagues in other key design-related departments (production, editorial, marketing)
How to apply
Please submit your application with a CV, Cover Letter and Portfolio (which is also within the Cover Letter section).
