Claire O'Connor - Intern


 Devon Burton Intern at Alpha Book Publisher

A Little Bit About Me


I am a second-year student at the University of Oregon, pursuing a bachelor's degree in English with minors in business administration and digital humanities, pushing my interest in publishing toward the production of diverse forms of text.


I am pursuing an internship with Alpha Book Publisher due to my curiosity of the publishing industry and desire to learn from seasoned professionals about their experience. I am passionate about contemporary fiction, incorporating themes of historical fiction and science fiction as a tool to address social issues. In addition, I am passionate about editing texts to guarantee these themes are digestible for various audiences.


I see myself contributing to the industry by working with teams who have similar goals, assuring these topics are written and edited in a comprehensible manner. My long-term goal is to become an editor for a publishing house, and to work closely with authors who may be traditionally overlooked to help bring their ideas to paper and into the hands of others. This would be my first official publishing experience. However, being an English student has given me countless practice writing academically. This has pushed me to strive to write in other forms, outside of the classroom.
