Are you (or do you know) someone who is looking for an unpaid internship that will give an insider view of publishing, writing, and building a business to support your creative habits?
Building a business around my writing has taken a toll on my writing and I’m looking for an intern to work with me 10-15 hour/week.
We can work together in person and/or virtually, although Boston area is preferred. I will help you figure out how to get credit if you are in college studying related topics.
Tasks:
- Manage social media contacts
- Research best practices for self-publishing print-on-demand books, e-books, and audiobooks
- Research best practices for developing apps that extend the brand of my publications
- Stay abreast of current social media trends that could benefit marketing efforts
- Post my writing to the various platforms I use (WordPress blog, Facebook, Facebook fan page, Tumblr, Twitter, and so on)
- Assist with administrative tasks relating to travel, mailings, database management, and so on
I am interested! Very much so, actually. I do not live in the Boston area, but would be willing to take a trip up there now and then. Working with you would be an honor. I am a writer, a reader of your books, and am looking…..for what I don’t know. Maybe this? Please contact me to discuss the possibilities. Thanks,
Polly
Susan, If I lived near you I would so want to persuade you to take me on. Alas, I live in the pacific northwest. Bummer. I wish you the best in finding the perfect person to be your side kick. In the meantime, I’ll just keep admiring your from afar (and keep working my way through “the widsom of a broken heart.” ) If you find yourself in the Seattle area, my home is your home & I mean that from the bottom of my heart. xoxo Mary
Mary, thank you! This is the sweetest message ever. I am so touched and appreciative. Sending love, Susan
