For summer 2023, I will be interning at the Highlights Foundation based in Milanville, PA.
The Highlights Foundation is a not-for-profit organization running under Highlights for Children magazine. The organization is supported by individuals, publishing companies, and writer’s organizations who are committed to improving the quality of children’s literature by offering a range of topics and types of courses, from no-cost webinars to week-long workshops to online intensives.
The foundation also runs a scholarship program to serve those who may not be able to afford the cost of their workshops and such.
The foundation programs provide education, support, and encouragement for authors and illustrators who are either just starting out or maybe have some experience already. The children’s publishing professionals range from editors, authors, illustrators, art directors, publishers, agents, academics, and others who are there to support the students in any way possible.
