| CBC Newfoundland and Labrador Verified

| The Horn Book Magazine Verified
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.
