I really enjoyed the experience of getting to see how a literary agency in New York City works. I had the opportunity to read many manuscripts as they were submitted to the agency and then was able to write reports about these manuscripts and determine if they should be passed to an agent or not.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could have developed a more personal relationship with those that worked there, but it was only a six week internship and was very fast paced, thus I feel that I did get a lot out of it.
Advice
Use the opportunity to observe and understand what agents are looking for in potential clients.
