We’re looking for a few good women and men — ideally, college students — to help out with story research for this blog as well as our contributions to the Sundance Channel’s Naked Love blog. Duties include researching online and offline for ideas for blog posts and also contributing occasional blog posts of your own (anonymously, if you prefer!). Other occasional duties may include helping out with magazine article research and helping us find candidates to interview for stories (both experts and non-experts). You should be: a smart & funny writer, web savvy, a resourceful researcher, and generally enthusiastic about our subject matter (sex, dating, relationships, pop culture).
Some editorial experience would be great, though not necessary. However, you should be a stickler for detail. The internship is unpaid but very flexible: It’s completely virtual (email & phone) and we’re open to candidates who can work as little as 5 hours a week… or as many as 15 hours a week. We’d want you to work about the same number of hours a week on the same days, but you can set the total number at the beginning of your internship.
Note: This is a very self-motivated internship. We’re looking for someone who can take initiative and who can take responsibility for deadlines without a lot of hand-holding or nudging. In return we can offer insight and experience in the magazine-, book- and online-publishing worlds, great recommendations, and advice about writing and, if you want or need it, your love life.
Send a resume, a one-page writing sample (an excerpt or link is fine), and a cover letter to [email protected]. Internship starts immediately, and we’re ideally looking for candidates who can commit until the end of the school year, though one semester is a possibility.
