At Stone Pier Press, our mission is to foster the transition to a food and farming system that's good for people and the planet. Our news and books respond to the crisis of an agricultural system that contributes significantly to global warming, perpetuates poor human health, relies on animal cruelty and depletes natural resources. Working at the intersection of sustainable agriculture, animal welfare and the good food movement, we highlight solutions and problem-solvers to help readers move to a more planet-friendly diet.

JOB DESCRIPTION: Do you have a way with words - and images? An ability to whip up tremendous enthusiasm for a mission or project? The desire to write news stories, create and lead your own marketing campaigns, develop business partnerships, produce mini-movies, or contribute to editorial content and design?

If so, we'd love to hear from you. We're Stone Pier Press, and our mission is to publish news and books that build a more climate-friendly, humane, and equitable food system. By publishing content that's entertaining and inspirational, we want to remind folks that the food choices we make have a direct impact on the health and well-being of our planet and our communities. 

Job Descriptions

Marketing Intern: We need smart, creative, and energetic souls to grow our social media channels and tie them into our Good Food News Bureau and fundraising strategy. This can include Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It can also include doing research on potential partners and developing pitch materials. In addition to establishing our presence as a source of solutions-oriented content, the marketing job will also support our book launches .

Editorial Intern/News Fellow: We need help writing our news stories. You can generate fresh reporting and spreading the word about the good food movement to our audience and beyond. Or help us recap stories that we think are worth sharing, with takeaways on what it means for the reader. We also want help creating scripts and compiling footage for videos that make a compelling case for a more sustainable, ethical food system. Finally, we need editors - to build out our website and produce our bi-weekly newsletters.
 
Photography & Video Intern: We need help generating great visual content to get more people on board with our good food mission. 

Design: Here's a chance to build a design portfolio, or at least add design skills to your resume. Our Fellows develop promotional materials, build out our website, and produce our newsletters. Some experience in SquareSpace, InDesign, Photoshop/Illustrator, or any other design program preferred.

eCommerce: We're launching new merchandise and can offer hands-on experience running an online store

The pluses: We're small which means you can be involved in as much of the publishing business and creative work as you'd like. We'll be working with editors to develop manuscripts, raising money from potential donors, and building a presence in the good food space. We'll also be doing market research on prospective books and developing budgets for each title. Finally, we'll be working with our partners to help them promote their own good food messages. You can be part of all of this, or just focus on marketing, creative and/or editorial - whatever works for you.

The nitty gritty: This is a 10 to 15 hour a week job and the hours are flexible. The winter/spring term runs January-May, the fall term is September-December, and the summer term runs May-August. Start and end dates are negotiable, so we're open to coming on board mid-term. We're in San Francisco but you can work from anywhere and on your own schedule as long as you're able to meet deadlines and be available for weekly calls. Finally, this is an unpaid internship, but we are looking to build out our long-term team. In exchange for your efforts, we offer professional development, job placement assistance and training opportunities in editorial writing, digital marketing, design, and nonprofit management.

Thank you for considering joining the Stone Pier Press team!
