PAST INTERN PRAISE
“When I first started my internship at PRBTB, I didn’t know what my future held. After a year, I can now say that I have witnessed so much love and passion among the PR by the Book team, and It has inspired and made me better at what I do. Interning with them gave me experience, confidence, and a second family! I’m so grateful everyone here took a chance and saw something in me, because now I know what I want to do when I grow up!”
-Nemat Eltiar
“When I first started this internship I knew little to nothing about the world of PR, especially for books. However, that quickly changed under such helpful guidance from the digital team even up until my last day. As someone who has always struggled with social media, PR By the Book showed me the importance of using social media, connections, and reaching out to audiences even if you think they might say no. This hands-on experience has made me more confident and taught me so much about digital media and ways to pitch to them. Most of all, I had the wonderful opportunity to work under an amazing team, who truly love what they do and books. Although there is still so much for me to learn, I am happy to say that every lesson and new idea I was given will stick with me in my future endeavors.”
