When Michelle Campbell went to a yoga festival hoping for a sense of manaakitanga, she found something else entirely. My friends and I arrive at the Napier War Memorial conference centre on the waterfront and join a throng of women with rubber mats slung over their shoulders. Swaddled in their best yoga leggings, they greet us, the epitome of Lululemon’s target customer base.

Jill was just 16 years old when she began an affair with Arthur, her 47-year-old art teacher.

In honor of our centennial, we asked interns from over the years to share their reminiscences. I interned at the Horn Book while earning my MFA in writing for children from Simmons. It was the perfect industry crash course. If a children’s book was on its way to publication, I either unboxed, shelved, read, or reviewed it. I’ve never before or since been so informed on the state of the industry. Photo: Rachel Marsh, Boston Book Festival, 2018.

In honor of our centennial, we asked interns from over the years to share their reminiscences. I was a Horn Book intern in early 2020, when the world went on lockdown. I will always be grateful to my colleagues at the Horn Book for extending my time with them instead of ending my internship early.

In honor of our centennial, we asked interns from over the years to share their reminiscences. When I was a Horn Book intern, I opened physical boxes of physical books, shelved those books around the physical Sullivan Square office, and mailed them physically to reviewers or, in the case of extra books, to the Strand Book Store.

In honor of our centennial, we asked interns from over the years to share their reminiscences. After graduating with an English degree, I moved to Boston to take a publishing course. During my publishing program, I was able to intern at the Horn Book in the editorial department. Way back then in 2009, I knew I wanted to work with books and share important stories with young people. Interning at the Horn Book introduced me to what an incredible community the world of children's books can be.
