Position description:
Do you secretly think you might be the "voice of a generation?" The next
David Sedaris? The future Joan Didion? We kind of think so too, which is why
this is the perfect internship for you.
We're Enchantress Magazine, an online community dedicated to sharing real stories from real people, and we launch next year. We're looking for strong writers with strong voices to craft short, weekly first-person essays. Our unique internship program is totally remote, meaning you may work from anywhere, and entirely writing-based, as in the only coffee you'll be fetching is for yourself. Hours, likewise, are flexible according to your schedule: You will select your own recurring deadline and you will be expected to turn in one (1) first-person piece per week about a mutually agreed-upon topic or event from your life. Everything you write will appear as a 'Contributor' byline and may be used for your portfolio or personal website after it’s published on our site. In addition to learning the ins and outs of the editorial process, from brainstorming and pitching to writing and promoting, you will receive the guidance and support of our editorial team. This opportunity is unpaid and will take place during the Winter/Spring 2015 semester.
Additional Requirements and General Information (education, skills, transportation):
While we're sure you're “proficient in Microsoft Word,” we’re less concerned with your major, GPA or most other formal qualifications as we are with your ability to captivate our readers with your writing. Accordingly, we require writing samples to demonstrate your ability.

Company description or mission:
Launching in early 2015, Enchantress Magazine is an online community dedicated to sharing real stories from real people celebrating and commiserating alike through the power of storytelling. Interspersed with interviews, illustrations, photo essays and videos, Enchantress aims to reconsider the conventions of traditional magazines in favor of creating something that's uniquely inspirational, speaking to people in a way that "aspirational" magazines simply can't match. There’s no Photoshop and no editorial ‘we’— just us. All of us.
