I'd really like to work in book publishing but I know it's competitive and not being fresh out of school puts me at a major disadvantage. It seems I need to do an internship if I'm to have any chance but I'm competing against recent grads. Is it just too late for me? Is it worth pursuing my dream or should I forget it? Any tips for breaking in?

why wouldn't you pursue your dream? You won't know if you don't try. Forget it only if you've pursued it and it didn't work out.

I work in book publishing, and it's true that the interns I see are usually college students. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't apply! Do you have work experience in another field? That could give you an advantage. You may not even have to do an internship first, but you may be able to get an entry-level position, if you can show that your experience relates to a type of job in publishing.
