Description

We’re on the hunt for a creative, motivated, and story-loving intern to help launch our brand new independent bookstore in Sun Prairie! This is a unique opportunity to be part of something from the very beginning—documenting the entire journey of opening a bookstore, from empty space to cozy community hub. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to shoot and edit video content, conduct interviews with the team and community, manage our social media accounts, and assist in building and maintaining our website. You’ll be telling our story as it unfolds, helping to shape our brand and get the word out in a fun, engaging, and authentic way.

As our Content & Social Media Intern, you’ll gain real-world experience in multimedia journalism, digital storytelling, content creation, and brand-building—plus, you’ll walk away with an impressive portfolio of work. We’re all about hands-on learning and creativity, so you’ll have the freedom to pitch your ideas and try new things in a flexible, start-up style environment. Think: TikToks, Reels, YouTube Shorts, behind-the-scenes interviews, buildout videos, and lots of bookish vibes. You’ll also assist with the creation of our website, and get to play a key role in shaping how we show up online and in the community.

We are looking for a candidate who has experience with video editing tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or iMovie, and is comfortable creating content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Strong writing skills, a good visual eye, and a passion for storytelling are essential. Bonus points if you’ve got some photography or graphic design skills, experience with web design tools, or just a love for books and local businesses.

To apply, send your resume, a brief note about why you’re excited about this opportunity, and if applicable, 1–2 examples of content you’ve created (this can be social media posts, videos, articles, or anything else that shows your style and skills) to jerindansllc@gmail.com.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being part of a bookstore from the ground up—or just want to flex your creative muscles in a meaningful, real-world way—we’d love to hear from you!

Application deadline – May 20, 2025.
