College of Liberal Arts Voices from the Gaps
working student

English major intern at Sutton Hoo Press

"Interning at Coffee House Press exposed me to great contemporary literature and introduced me to the Twin Cities’ amazing literary community. I found that I am most interested in the editorial part of the publishing process, and I hope to find an editorial job someday at a press as progressive, innovative, and unique as Coffee House."
