Adam:
I'm the Editor-in-Chief of a new social media book publishing community called The Gatekeepers Post. If you can imagine Publishers Weekly meets The Huffington Post. We're looking for responsible interns who have an interest in book publishing and/or media.
Can you forward this to your Communications Dept, Book Publishing professor or your internship department?
Job Description: An unpaid internship interacting and engaging with some of the most influential executives in book publishing on a daily basis. We are a social media community for book publishing professionals. If you can imagine Huffington Post meets Publishers Weekly where vetted agents, editors, publishers and A-list authors blog daily about what is happening book publishing today.
We are seeking responsible interns who have a passion for publishing and are not afraid to do "grunt work", data entry, research. Also, we seek those with a passion for social media marketing and those with strong editing and proof reading skills are a plus. If you are the type of person who has to be forced out of the office every night because you would work 24-7 if they would let you, that is what we're looking for. If you have a genuine good attitude, then we want you. What we are not looking for are lazy interns, who aren't willing to roll up their sleeves and earn their place in this prestigious industry.
We have virtual offices so you will be working from the comfort of your own home; although we will be communicating via phone, email and webcam and from time to time in New York. If you live or are willing to go to New York, there are times when we will ask you to do errands. The Editor-in-Chief will make strong recommendations and referrals to interns that demonstrate themselves as invaluable to some of the most powerful agents, editors and publishers in the industry for possible internships or jobs. Please, visit our site to get a feel for the type of outlet we are: http://www.GatekeepersPost.com<http://www.GatekeepersPost.com/>
A few examples of Gatekeepers on the site are executives from Wattpad, Smashwords, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Kensington, ICM, St. Martin's Press, Random House, FastPencil, U.S. News, Mediabistro, Pulitzer Prize Winners, New York Times bestselling authors and over 200 others.

Author and media personality, Jeff Rivera launches The Gatekeepers Post, a new social media community intended to make a significant impact on the conversation of book publishing.
With the decline in print book sales, the increase of eBooks, the rapid closing of independent bookstores and the boom in young adult fiction, the world of book publishing is experiencing a flux few could have anticipated even five years ago.
Industry outlets have struggled to keep pace with the new developments in publishing but the changes are happening too fast for anyone to cover it all.��The industry and public's insatiable appetite for fresh news on the rapid changes has only increased.
The Gatekeepers Post hopes to satisfy that appetite.��A cross between�Huffington Post and Publishers Weekly, the outlet features some of the most important and respected voices in book publishing.
Joined by an editorial advisory board that includes the likes of print and online magazine editor Neal Boulton; TechSavvy<http://www.toptechexpert.com/> high-tech consulting CEO Scott Steinberg; New York Times bestselling author and Publisher, Zane; Planned TV Arts� Rick Frishman; Editor-in-Chief of Publishing Perspectives Ed Nawotka; Smashwords� Mark Coker; Thomas Dunne Book�s Brendan Deneen; eReads.com<http://eReads.com/> publisher and veteran literary agent Richard Curtis; Editor-in-Chief of Gawker.tv Richard Blakeley; former Writers Digest Books Editor-at-Large Jane Friedman; Authorpreneur Joe Konrath; and Hachette�s Director of Multicultural Publicity Linda Duggins.� The new outlet also features Gatekeepers bloggers that site founder and Editor-in-Chief Jeff Rivera personally handpicked. "The support from the industry has been overwhelming," says Rivera, "I'm proud of the high caliber of Gatekeepers and guest bloggers who'll be joining us."� Veteran agents, major editors, librarians, publishers, publicists and authors such as�New York Times bestseller Alisa Valdes Rodriguez will be lending their voice to the community as well. Book publishing heavy weights such as Andrea Barzvi of ICM, Keith Ogorek of Author Solutions, Harvey Klinger of the Harvey Klinger Agency, Bill Gladstone of Waterside Productions, Glenn Yeffeth of BenBella Books, Steve Wilson CEO of� Fast Pencil and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein of Gotham Group have also joined.
A steady stream of book-centric reviews, headlining news, articles, and op-ed pieces, will be incorporated within the outlet along with forthcoming special events such as virtual panel discussions and online conferences.
