Now and Later

NOW: Spots at our Portfolio Review next Tuesday are filling up, so sign up now!

LATER: Check out Ed2010’s “How to Be a Kick-A** Intern” speaker panel, being held next Wednesday, June 25. Even though it’s geared more towards editorial interns, it’ll still give all you current interns and intern-wannabes tons of inside secrets and tips on how to wow your supervisors.

EVEN LATER: Mark your calendar now for our Pub(lications) Crawl event on September 25. It’s a chance for you to visit the offices of your favorite mags and see where and how it all comes together. It’s a weekday, but it’s well-worth, um, “missing” class for ... your professors might even agree!

In NYC This Summer?

Then you have no excuse not to sign up for our Portfolio Reviews next Tuesday! See the post below for more details. And remember, it doesn’t matter what form your book is in ... even if it’s just a pile of papers, bring it! But space is limited, so you MUST rsvp.

Also, if you’re in town, make sure you check out the events at Ed2010. Don’t know what Ed2010 is? Well, get to know them as they’re a wealth of magazine info and they represent your future coworkers. They’re aimed more towards the editorial side of magazines, but they have awesome events, active message boards and tons of insider info on their site. And they’re hosting a party tonight for all magazine interns at the Boat Basin Cafe (click here for details) ... a great opportunity for networking, door prizes and fun, of course.
