2027 Summer Internship - Marketing, Thomas Nelson & Zondervan Gift (Nashville, TN Hybrid)

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Qualifications heading. However we also have separate sections for Pay and Schedule if present. The posting includes compensation: $18 per hour. Also schedule: 28 hours per week, Monday through Thursday, June 7 to August 12, 2027; Tuesdays and Wednesdays mandatory in-office; Mondays and Thursdays remote. So we should have Pay and Schedule sections. Qualifications: Should contain eligibility criteria: Candidates who are available to work in a full-time capacity in 2027 or 2028 are eligible; 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. Compensation for this internship is $18 per hour. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. A resume and cover letter are required; applications without a cover letter will not be considered. Please address your cover letter to “Hiring Team.” Ideal candidates are either currently enrolled in or have recently graduated from an undergraduate or master’s program. A passion for books is highly valued! College junior or senior, or recent graduate, majoring in business, communications, English, journalism, marketing, public relations, or a related field. Basic understanding of the Christian faith is preferred; interest in books, publishing, consumer marketing, or gift products is a plus. Previous marketing, communications, retail, campus organization, or customer-facing experience is helpful but not required. Experience in a book or gift retail setting is a plus. Basic understanding of social media and digital marketing. Familiarity with how Marketing, Public Relations, Sales, and Editorial work together is a plus; publishing experience is not required. We need to separate Pay and Schedule sections, so we should not duplicate that info in Qualifications. So Qualifications should contain eligibility, education, experience, etc, but not pay/schedule. However the instruction says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." But we must include Pay and Schedule if posting actually states them. It does. So we will create separate sections. Thus Qualifications will contain: eligibility (available to work full-time capacity in 2027 or 2028; open to rising seniors, recent graduates, master’s students, or entry level candidates with up to 1 year of work experience); 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; college junior/senior or recent graduate majoring in business, communications, English, journalism, marketing, public relations, or related field; basic understanding of Christian faith preferred; interest in books, publishing, consumer marketing, or gift products a plus; previous marketing, communications, retail, campus organization, or customer-facing experience helpful but not required; experience in book or gift retail setting a plus; basic understanding of social media and digital marketing; familiarity with how Marketing, PR, Sales, Editorial work together a plus; publishing experience not required. We'll put these as prose or list? Could be

with sentences. Could also use

for list of qualifications. The instruction: Use
• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for qualifications we can use
  • . That seems appropriate. Skills: The posting includes a "Skills" section after Qualifications. It lists: Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint); Knowledge of social media and digital marketing; Canva or other graphic design experience is a plus; Strong writing, editing, proofreading, and research skills; Ability to work with data and translate results into useful marketing insights; Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; Behavioral Skills: Enthusiastic, curious, and proactive self-starter who can thrive in a fast-paced department. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines are important. Excellent written and interpersonal communication skills, teamwork, tact, and professional conduct are essential. We can treat Skills as a list. Work Environment: There's a "Work Environment" paragraph after Skills. Should we include as a section? The allowed headings list does not include Work Environment. But we could incorporate into About the role or maybe not include as separate heading because not in list. The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exhaustive? However they say "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not create a Work Environment heading. We could incorporate that paragraph into About the role or maybe into Responsibilities? But it's about work environment. Could be part of About the role. We'll add it to About the role paragraph. Also there is EEO statement and accommodation request etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also remove application instructions (deadline, how to apply). The posting includes: "HarperCollins Publishers is committed to providing reasonable accommodation..." and "Note: we will only respond to accommodation requests." Also "The deadline to apply is October 1, 2026 at 11:59pm EST." and "HarperCollins Publishers is an equal opportunity employer." These are boilerplate; we must remove them. Also "Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States." is not boilerplate; it's a qualification. Keep. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce:

    About the role

    ... (including work environment sentence)

    Responsibilities

    • ... each bullet

    Qualifications

    • ... each qualification

    Skills

    • ... each skill

    Pay

    $18 per hour.

    Schedule

    28 hours per week, Monday through Thursday, from June 7 to August 12, 2027. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are mandatory in-office days at the Nashville headquarters; Mondays and Thursdays are remote workdays.

    We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. Check for any duplicated lines: We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Now craft the About the role paragraph: Combine the initial description plus work environment sentence. Original about role paragraph: "Gain hands-on, real-world experience with a paid summer internship at HarperCollins Christian Publishing. The Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Gift marketing team supports a wide range of inspirational books, devotionals, gift products, and author brands including Candace Cameron Bure, Sadie Robertson, Max Lucado, Louie Giglio, and many more. The gift division prides itself in creating books with great content, as well as beautiful features such as four-color printing, leathersoft devotionals, lifestyle books, and much more. This internship offers broad exposure to the publishing process and practical experience in marketing and public relations, including digital campaigns, social media, email marketing, influencer outreach, publicity support, market research, and campaign analysis. The intern will work alongside a collaborative, fast-paced team and contribute to projects supporting our busy fall book launch and holiday seasons." Work environment sentence: "Work Environment Fast-paced, collaborative, author-centric marketing department supporting multiple titles, campaigns, and deadlines at once. The intern should be comfortable adapting to changing priorities and working with colleagues across functions." We can combine: after the about role paragraph, add that sentence. Thus About the role paragraph: combine all. Now Responsibilities list: ensure we keep each bullet exactly as in posting but maybe trim trailing punctuation. Let's list them precisely: 1. Help implement direct-to-consumer marketing campaigns across email, social media, web, and other digital channels. 2. Draft and edit marketing copy, including email content, blog posts, social media captions, advertising copy, product messaging, and promotional materials. 3.
