Translation Intern

Remote Internship

Role Overview

About the Internship

Language is at the heart of everything we do. As our Translation Intern, you will work with our editorial team to bring QuillBees content — from blog posts to book excerpts — into Hindi and other regional languages, helping us reach readers who deserve great books in their own tongue.

What You Will Do

  • Translate blog posts, author interviews, book descriptions, and short-form content
  • Assist with the translation of selected manuscript sections under editorial guidance
  • Ensure translations are culturally resonant and natural — not mechanical renderings
  • Proofread translated content and flag queries for the editorial team
  • Contribute to building bilingual glossaries and translation style guides
  • Review regional-language content from external translators for consistency and quality

Best From

Students fluent in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, or another Indian language alongside strong English — from any academic background.

What You Will Gain

  • Published translated work with your name attached
  • Editorial mentorship on the craft and practice of literary translation
  • Experience working within a professional publishing editorial process
  • A letter of recommendation and verified internship certificate

The Opportunity

At QuillBees, we offer a platform for people who love books and want to build a career at the intersection of literature, education, and publishing. You will work on titles that matter with a team that cares.
