Here's what some of our former interns had to say about their Ersilia Literary Agency internship experience:

‘I deeply enjoyed working for Ersilia. My role was to help Evangelia and Avgi with administrative tasks: preparing contracts and invoices, updating the website and databases, helping create clear and creative catalogues. I really felt a part of the team and I learned a lot about the literary world and the selling of foreign rights. So, if you want a glimpse into the literary sector, while developing your organizational skills, you’ve come to the right place!’—Marion Marc

‘I had a wonderful time working for Ersilia. This internship experience taught me very important organisational skills, how to be detail oriented, and provided me with invaluable insight into the world of publishing. Not only did I develop professionally, but I also learned a lot about myself. Avgi and Evangelia were committed to make me learn, grow, and become and integrated part of the team, which made my time as an intern educational, stimulating, and most importantly, equipped me to pursue new challenges in the future. I am deeply thankful for this experience and can highly recommend Ersilia to anyone who are curious about the literary field and wish to grow on a professional and personal level.’ — Kamille Dyreborg
