Assigned tasks will include writing stories, copy editing other interns work, and submitting typos and broken links while each guide is in beta.
You will work directly with our Founder and Editor in Chief. Location is not an issue, but you must be a self-starter, be able to work independently and have access to the internet in order to actively participate in our Editorial Google Group. Hours can vary, but we request an average commitment of at least 10 hours per week for 16 weeks (or 4 months).
This is a great opportunity to get a byline and expand your portfolio, while reaching a broad audience. After an initial six-week probationary period, you will also be listed as an intern in the Site Information / About Us section, along with other staffers.

Our internships are unpaid. We will be happy to assist you in earning academic credit.
