Words have power — and so does the right video at the right moment. Luminare Press is a publishing company on a mission to connect readers with stories that matter, and we’re looking for a creative, digitally fluent intern to help us bring that mission to life on screen and across social media. If you love storytelling in all its forms and have a sharp eye for editing, we want to hear from you.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

What you’ll do

• Edit short-form and long-form marketing videos for book launches, author spotlights, trailers, and campaigns
• Produce and refine advertising content tailored for digital platforms (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn)
• Assist in developing and executing a coherent social media strategy aligned with Luminare Press publishing goals and seasonal calendars
• Collaborate on content calendars, scheduling posts, and tracking engagement metrics
• Contribute creative ideas for growing our audience and amplifying author voices
• Support the team with light motion graphics, captioning, and basic sound mixing as needed

Where you’ll work:

Initial work and filming for marketing in our beautiful and picturesqe offices near downtown. Editing and production can be done remotely. 

REQUIRED SKILLS

Must-haves

• Proficiency in video editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent)
• Strong understanding of social media platforms and their distinct content formats
• An eye for pacing, composition, and visual storytelling
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to meet deadlines with minimal supervision
• Portfolio or work samples demonstrating video editing skills

PREFERRED BUT NOT REQUIRED

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with motion graphics or animation (After Effects, Canva Pro)
• Familiarity with social analytics tools (Later, Sprout Social, Meta Business Suite)
• Passion for books, literature, or the publishing world
• Copywriting or caption-crafting skills
• Basic photography or graphic design background

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need to be a seasoned professional — you need to be curious, creative, and committed to quality. This role is ideal for a student, recent graduate, or emerging creative who wants real-world experience in publishing marketing at Luminare Press. We envision 10 hours a week, but hours vary based on campaign cycles and project needs, making this a great fit for someone who thrives with flexible, project-based work. 

How to apply

Send your résumé, a brief note of interest (why you and why publishing?), and links to 2–3 video projects you’ve edited to Luminare Press at [marketing@luminarepress.com]. Applications without a portfolio or work samples will not be considered. We look forward to seeing your work.
