      I worked a part-time internship at Random House.

      Pros

      - My supervisors and the people with whom I worked regularly were incredible. They reached out and definitely wanted to expose me to different aspects of the publishing industry. - I got to regularly sit in meetings with the editors of the imprint. I gathered so many insights about how a book is published from its conception to its publication. - I worked with great, friendly people in general. - Some fun perks were all the free books! I regularly went home with books that my supervisor recommended or didn't have room for anymore.

      Cons

      - Some busy work, like photocopying and running errands, but I had anticipated that. - Sometimes the work could get repetitive. - No pay made it hard to motivate myself on the busy work tasks.
