Creative Access and David Tebbutt Trust honour former Faber director with new internship, reports Heloise Wood in The Bookseller.
The David Tebbutt Trust and Creative Access have announced a new internship fund in memory of the late David Tebbutt, finance director at Faber, who was killed in Kenya in 2011.
It will support smaller regional publishers who might otherwise not be able to host a trainee. The internship will be funded by the David Tebbutt Trust, which is jointly administered by Faber and the Tebbutt family.
The fund will provide 100% of the cost of an intern’s training bursary or salary based on the Real Living Wage for a six-month full-time traineeship once a year for three years. It will also cover all costs relating to the recruitment and training of successful candidates.
