2027 Summer Internship - Editorial and Marketing, Thomas Nelson Fiction (Nashville, TN Hybrid)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes responsibilities list, qualifications list, schedule details, pay info, benefits? There's a "Why Join Us?" section but not exactly benefits; but we can treat as Benefits? The instructions: Use headings for those specific headings. We need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: The first sentence: "The fiction intern will be responsible for assisting all Thomas Nelson fiction, both editorially and marketing." That's a description. Could be About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications: includes eligibility, availability, etc. Also includes "Ideal candidates are either currently enrolled..." etc. Also includes "A previous internship within publishing preferred but not required". Also includes "English or journalism majors preferred". Also includes "Candidates should have a passionate interest..." etc. Also includes "General understanding of the Christian market is a plus, but not required." Also includes "Strong desire to learn..." etc. Also includes "Microsoft Office..." etc. Also includes "Behavioral Skills ...". So we can treat Qualifications as a section.
- Skills: maybe separate from Qualifications? The posting lumps skills within qualifications. But we could create a Skills section for the listed skills: Microsoft Office, Research skills, Excellent interpersonal communication..., Excellent verbal and written communication..., Team player, Behavioral Skills (Organized, Efficient, Detail-oriented, Proactive, Professional, Able to multitask). However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we have separate headings allowed; we need to decide.
We also have Pay: "Compensation for this internship is $18 per hour."
Schedule: "Candidates must be available to work 28 hours per week, Monday through Thursday, from June 7 to August 12, 2027. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are mandatory in-office days at our Nashville headquarters, while Mondays and Thursdays are remote workdays."
Benefits: There's a "Why Join Us?" section with bullet-like sentences: "Be part of a creative and collaborative team that values your input. Gain hands-on experience in both marketing and public relations. Work on exciting projects that bring stories to life and connect with audiences." Also mention accommodation statement. Could treat as Benefits.
We should not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request email, deadline, equal opportunity employer. Those are to be removed.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe includes skills), Pay, Schedule, Benefits (Why Join Us). Could also include Requirements? The posting doesn't have separate Requirements beyond qualifications. So we skip Requirements.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, qualifications, schedule, pay, benefits.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet as is.
Let's extract responsibilities list:
- Attend team meetings, including but not limited to titling, staff, title alignment, production, editorial, marketing, and sales conference
- Assist team in managing the proposal log (tracking and distribution of proposals sent from agents and authors)
- Assist with filing for CIP data and copyrights
- Acquire working knowledge of standard proofreading marks and The Chicago Manual of Style by shadowing and assisting with page proofs, final pass proofs, and manuscript styling and basic application
- Gain experience in drafting/reviewing catalog and back cover copy
- Acquire working knowledge of data optimization and help in optimizing retailer copy for backlist and frontlist titles
- Help to implement promotional campaigns
- Help gather author input for PR pitches
- Learn to manage Librarian and Reviewer requests through NetGalley
- Help manage the creation & distribution of ARCs to reviewers, media, authors, and sales
- Research marketing trends
- Assist in mailings
- Some clerical work (e.g. photocopying, printing and binding manuscripts, filing, email, note taking, etc)
We need to keep each as
- .
Qualifications section: Let's gather all qualification-related sentences:
- Candidates who are available to work in a full-time capacity in 2027 or 2028 are eligible for this internship; open to rising seniors, recent graduates, master’s students, or entry level candidates with up to 1 year of work experience.
- Candidates must be available to work 28 hours per week, Monday through Thursday, from June 7 to August 12, 2027. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are mandatory in-office days at our Nashville headquarters, while Mondays and Thursdays are remote workdays. (But schedule is separate; we might move schedule to its own section; but this sentence also includes schedule details; we could keep schedule details in Schedule section and not duplicate. However the qualification sentence includes schedule; we could keep it in Qualifications but then schedule section would be duplicate. Better to separate: Qualifications includes eligibility, availability to work full-time capacity in 2027 or 2028, open to rising seniors etc, must be authorized to work in US, resume and cover letter required, address cover letter to “Hiring Team.”, ideal candidates currently enrolled or recently graduated from undergraduate or master’s program, passion for books highly valued, previous internship within publishing preferred but not required, English or journalism majors preferred, candidates should have a passionate interest in publishing industry with specific passion for fiction preferred, general understanding of Christian market a plus but not required, strong desire to learn along with professional drive.
Then Skills: Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint), Research skills, Excellent interpersonal communication skills with good use of tact and diplomacy, Excellent verbal and written communication skills with strong knowledge of English grammar and usage, Team player, Behavioral Skills: Organized, Efficient, Detail-oriented, Proactive, Professional, Able to multitask.
We could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, but we have separate headings allowed. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe better to have Qualifications (including skills) as one section, and not create a separate Skills section. But we have a heading "Skills" in the list of allowed headings; we can omit if not needed. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's examples, not mandatory to use all. So we can choose which to include.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule, Benefits.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must remove: "HarperCollins Publishers is committed to providing reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with disabilities, in our job application and/or interview process. If you need assistance or accommodation in completing your application, due to a disability, email us at TalentManagement@harpercollins.com . Note: we will only respond to accommodation requests. The deadline to apply is October 1, 2026 at 11:59pm EST. HarperCollins Publishers is an equal opportunity employer."
Also remove "Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States." That's substantive? It's a requirement; we should keep it. It's not boilerplate. Keep.
Also remove "A resume and cover letter are required; applications without a cover letter will not be considered. Please address your cover letter to “Hiring Team.”" That's application instruction; we should remove per instruction: "Remove ... application instructions." So we need to drop that sentence.
Also remove "Ideal candidates are either currently enrolled in or have recently graduated from an undergraduate or master’s program." That's substantive; keep.
Also "A passion for books is highly valued!" keep.
Also "A previous internship within publishing preferred but not required" keep.
Also "English or journalism majors preferred" keep.
Also "Candidates should have a passionate interest in the publishing industry, with a specific passion for fiction preferred." keep.
Also "General understanding of the Christian market is a plus, but not required." keep.

Also "Excellent verbal and written communication skills with strong knowledge of English grammar and usage" keep.
Also "Team player" keep.
Also "Behavioral Skills Organized Efficient Detail-oriented Proactive Professional Able to multitask" keep as list.
Now Benefits: "Why Join Us? Be part of a creative and collaborative team that values your input. Gain hands-on experience in both marketing and public relations. Work on exciting projects that bring stories to life and connect with audiences." We'll keep that as Benefits section.
Now Pay: "Compensation for this internship is $18 per hour."
Schedule: "Candidates must be available to work 28 hours per week, Monday through Thursday, from June 7 to August 12, 2027. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are mandatory in-office days at our Nashville headquarters, while Mondays and Thursdays are remote workdays."
Now About the role: "The fiction intern will be responsible for assisting all Thomas Nelson fiction, both editorially and marketing."
Now Responsibilities: list as above.
Now Qualifications: we need to combine all qualification statements except schedule and pay etc. Let's list them:
- Candidates who are available to work in a full-time capacity in 2027 or 2028 are eligible for this internship; open to rising seniors, recent graduates, master’s students, or entry level candidates with up to 1 year of work experience.

Now we also have skills list; we could include them under Qualifications as a sublist or separate bullet points. Since we are not making a separate Skills section, we can include them as bullet points under Qualifications as well.
Thus Qualifications section will have a mix of eligibility and skills. We'll need to format as - for each bullet.
Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate schedule info. Already we have schedule separate.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
