How to be an intern editor in a publishing house?

The publishing house is divided into planning editors and desk (text) editors. During the internship, the subject is mainly responsible for desk editing. This question seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. The start of a new person is especially important. I have thought about it over and over and give you two suggestions. One is to keep your head down and work, and the other is to look up and look at the road. Let’s talk about working with your head down first. Interns are mainly teachers (publishers and schools are called teachers similarly) who give them tasks and you complete them. The main job of a desk editor is to proofread the manuscript, and this manuscript is our opportunity to perform! If others read it once, you can read it twice. If the error rate of others in the first school is 10 and you only have 5, then the teacher will naturally look at you with admiration. In addition, interns will also do some errands, so we should be more diligent. Let’s talk about looking up at the road. A good desk editor must not only be professional in editing text, grammar, punctuation, and format, but also have the ability to grasp the content of the book. Editors are the core of a publishing house. Desk editing focuses on text processing to ensure the quality of book content; planning editing focuses on meeting readers' needs, planning good topics, and finding good authors. To be an editor, you need to think about where to go. Finally, I wish you success.
