📣 Now accepting Milkweed Fellowship applications—due July 10! ⁠

The Milkweed Fellowship is grounded in our belief that books have the potential to change the way we see the world, and that equity is essential to a vibrant, diverse, and empowered literary ecosystem.

This paid, one- to two-year immersion program is designed to offer the tools, experience, and exposure necessary to pursue a career in book publishing. Intended to provide an alternative point of entry to an industry where the prerequisite to an entry-level position is typically an unpaid internship, this learning-oriented position seeks to provide opportunity to those historically underrepresented among workers in book publishing—Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA+, and those with disabilities—so they may advance, discover, and champion transformative literature for years to come.

This position is based on-site in our Minneapolis offices and is full time (non-exempt, 40 hours per week, for 12–24 months), beginning in Fall 2026. Compensation includes a salary of $40,000 per year, generous paid time off, and health and dental benefits.

Applications due by July 10, 2026, via submittable—learn more via milkweed.org/fellowship.
