Educational Publishing from an Intern's Perspective
This summer, I had the pleasure of interning with a great
company called Publishing Solutions Group based in Woburn, MA. As I finished my
freshman year at Emerson, I was at the cusp of my career; I had no experience except
for the minimal work I had done for a few campus organizations and I had a lot
to learn.
PSG is a full production publishing company that takes on
projects involving writing, editorial work, art production and management,
design, and translation. They handle assignments in educational publishing and
work with sectors of companies like McDougal-Littell, Pearson, and Harcourt. It
is a small company with less than fifteen full-time employees, so as an intern
I was trusted with a lot of work that was important to the company. I never
felt like I was just a decoration or formality as some interns at other
companies may feel.
