Fellows will have a variety of responsibilities which may include evaluating manuscripts, aiding in submissions, sorting and sending out decline notices as needed, drafting copy and acquisition materials, preparing sales materials, performing competitive research, helping with mailings, attending meetings, participating in brainstorming, and handling other administrative tasks. 

Fellows assisting the Children’s editors will work on books for readers up to 18 years old, including board books, picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, and middle grade, as well as novelty items, games, and journals.
