The program pairs students with Penguin Random House production editors who provide insight into the fast-paced trade publishing industry. Interns receive guidance on paid freelance projects, with a goal of completing four or more projects in six-months. Mentees also have the option to participate in remote trainings, panels, and information sessions regarding the industry and editorial work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one of the best parts? Upon completion of the program, mentorship participants are kept in the network of freelance copy editors that PRH hires for full-length independent projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But because this is an amazing opportunity to work with an internationally renowned publishing house, the application process can be intensive and competitive. In the first round, applicants must complete a specific mentorship program form, as well as a copyediting test. Students who do well on these materials are invited to take lengthier copyediting and proofreading tests. Final mentees are chosen from this second round of applicants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other requirements for your application to be considered:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Successful competition of PB688 Copyediting (grad) OR equivalent experience (coursework, internship, employment)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagomanualofstyle.org\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>Chicago Manual of Style<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A PC or Mac with Microsoft Word (2016 or later), for copyediting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adobe Acrobat Reader (or Pro), for proofreading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A social security number or individual taxpayer identification number and authorization to work in the United States (*this mentorship is not eligible for international students)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A bank account that can accept direct deposit (preferred), or checks can be sent via mail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet Rachel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about this mentorship firsthand, we connected with Rachel Whitten, a member of the 2024-2025 PRH cohort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Stack of colorful cookbooks.\" class=\"wp-image-5319\" style=\"width:330px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/cookbook-stack-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@alken?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alfred Kenneally<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/books-on-brown-wooden-shelf-QkyRG0bB_xg?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Rachel, <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/graduate-publishing-and-writing-ma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>a Publishing and Writing MA<\/strong><\/a> student, says she&#8217;s always been an avid reader, but fell back in love with books after college. \u201cI explored other career paths before deciding to pursue a career in publishing, but the Emerson MA program helped solidify my decision,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within her Emerson courses, Rachel fostered an appreciation for book production. As she searched for more hands-on experience beyond the classroom, she stumbled upon the PRH mentorship. While the application process was not an easy feat, Rachel was excited to be selected as part of the Production Editorial Mentor Program in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the program, Rachel worked on five projects over the course of six months. \u201cEach project was capped at twenty hours, and I was typically given two weeks to complete each assignment,\u201d she explains. \u201cI worked on a range of manuscripts with a focus on cookbooks! My favorite projects were a baking cookbook, a cocktails book, and a historical fiction novel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program is a unique and enticing opportunity! But many students worry that it may be tough to manage their time between Emerson\u2019s coursework and the mentorship responsibilities. In response to these concerns, Rachel explains how she managed her time effectively. \u201cI allocated about two hours in the evenings for my mentorship projects. Each project\u2019s time commitment varied\u2014I had one that took the full twenty hours and another that only required ten. You\u2019re responsible for tracking your hours so you can be paid accurately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to editing these manuscripts, Rachel \u201cpracticed cold reading, slugging, proofreading, and copyediting skills.\u201d Other perks included one-on-one meetings with her mentor twice a month, and group meetings with other mentors and guest speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel is grateful for the experience the mentorship gave her. \u201cFor now, I plan to continue freelancing for PRH!\u201d she shares. \u201cThe mentorship helped me narrow my scope of potential career paths, and I definitely want to pursue a career in production after graduation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of advice for prospective applicants, Rachel says to \u201ctake your time on the application tests and give them multiple passes with fresh eyes! Also, emphasize if you have any expertise that would help you as an editor.\u201d For instance, Rachel had a culinary arts background and mentioned that she wanted to specialize in cookbooks, which helped set her apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Production Editorial Mentor Program with Penguin Random House is a major draw for Emerson\u2019s graduate students, especially for those in the <a href=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/2024\/01\/02\/answers-to-your-questions-about-emersons-writing-and-publishing-graduate-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Publishing and Writing<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/creative-writing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Creative Writing<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.edu\/majors-programs\/graduate-programs\/graduate-journalism-and-media-innovation-ma-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Journalism and Media Innovation<\/strong><\/a> programs.
