intern (editorial/research) for la-based magazine writer (silverlake)

2008-07-19T20:26:35-07:00
Internship (editorial/research) available with national magazine writer/author who holds contributing editorships and contract masthead positions. Please don't apply if you're not available to start in August, and please live in Los Angeles, own a laptop with access to broadband Internet, and have a means of transportation. It's also preferable if you have not interned at other publications and/or worked other jobs in media or entertainment.

The successful applicant will have likely just finished his or her undergrad education, though feel free to apply if you're at the end of your degree program--as long as you have time and daily availability via e-mail. Please share interests in: technology/gadgets, travel, food, culture (from mainstream film/TV to books, serious music to one-hit wonders), health (including recent medical news), style, nutrition, design, social trends, literary nonfiction, and essay/memoir. Tasks will introduce you to traditional and unusual magazine and newspaper research methods, fact-checking, copy-editing, writing in different tones, different journalistic forms, the writer's marketplace, how to pitch, editor communiques, putting together book proposals, transcribing, interviewing subjects (from the famous to the obscure), etc.

There will also be light clerical assistance--occasionally calling in products, meeting PR reps, placing calls and e-mails, sending out packages. But this is more substantive writing/journalism mentorship and exposure than personal assistance--especially if you are passionate about pitching and writing every day. I've had smart and caring mentors, so I'm devoted to helping the right person get started on what can be a very liberating, challenging, and exciting career path. What else? Familiarity with Nexis and other popular research tools helps. Also know how to work with and have a good sense of the Web--particularly the most important media and entertainment blogs. Please, too, read lots of newspapers and magazines and have favorites (as well as knowledge of specific article formats) for which you would like to write.

Successful applicant will receive personalized advice on how to kickstart a freelance writing career tailored to specific interests as well as journalism-school and MFA-curriculum reading suggestions, skill-building writing/editing assignments (if desired), and personal writing analyses (to help you get published sooner rather than later). Other perks: I offer help with creating work portfolios (what clips to send, cover letters, etc.) and with meeting helpful people--sources and editors. I cover the real facts about freelance writing as a craft and business. So you'll get a lot out of this if you're available and hungry, including a strong reference and bylined writing samples. The most important thing is to be extremely passionate about writing for publication asap. It works best if you're 100% sure you want to work in this field right away and have done the necessary prep work (obsessively read numerous publications, tried some journalism if only for yourself, and paid attention to grammar and syntax along the way).

Please also take initiative and work well independently. Being professional, articulate, and accurate as well as flexible with time zones--particularly Eastern Standard Time--will help. Deadlines are fast, and most editors work in NY. 75% of work can be done from home, eventually, but twice-weekly meetings of a few hours are very likely and often helpful for both of us.

Unpaid or college credit available through all universities. Potential for small payments--for helpful contributions with research or lengthy transcriptions. What you'll gain in experience, connections, and exposure, however, is well worth your time -- much more than answering phones, getting coffee, and faxing contracts at a magazine owned by a conglomerate. Just please don't apply if you already have a taxing full-time job or plan to work in other fields and just write on the side. No one understands the need to make money more than a writer in my position. But this job just fits students and others who have time to spare and a focused writing goal, however they can finance it all.

Prefer younger people who lack opportunities as opposed to career-changers who have held numerous jobs and don't need to build many of these skills. Enjoy literary as well as consumer publications -- and understand the need to write for both worlds. Let's chat over e-mail and phone so the right ones come to interview soonest. Interns usually stay from three to six months--I like to usher you out of this and into other work as soon as you're ready. Lastly, it helps if you have written for publication, and if you have practical journalistic or essayistic writing samples to send along with a resume and cover letter that explains why you are ready to pursue this career. [Please don't apply without writing samples.!]

Finally, don't feel the need to stand out with unusual e-mails. Just write a proper letter: say hello, tell me your name, why you'd like to do this, what you read, and what kind of writer you think you might like to become. Past interns have scored numerous paid articles in national publications as well as found and retained work at strong magazines.
