We just found two really great websites. The first is CollegeCandy.com, whose internships we are going to talk about today. The second is Ed 2010 which guided us to CollegeCandy’s internships. It’s “a community of young magazine editors and magazine-editor wannabes who want to learn more about the industry so we can fulfill our dreams of landing top editing and writing positions in the the magazine industry” (Ed: someone really needs to edit that description from their About page). Anyway, CollegeCandy is “a website written for college women, by college women,” which may seem like it precludes guys from interning with them, but who knows?
We don’t have much to go on with these CollegeCandy internships beyond the posting we found about them on Ed 2010. We do know that CollegeCandy is getting some pretty decent traffic to their website, and they actually have an office in Chelsea, NY for interns to work at. It sounds like a great place to start a writing career if you are their ideal candidate - someone who is “passionate about writing, responsible, witty, knowledgeable of all things pop culture, a lover of all things dessert, laid back and willing to wear many hats (literal and proverbial).” Interns at CollegeCandy will get a lot of real work. They’ll be writing, researching, and marketing, and since you’ll be a college student writing for other college students, it should be extremely fun. If you’re interested, go read CollegeCandy.com for a while, and then send a cover letter and resume to Lauren@collegecandy.com. We recommend that you get started with College Candy’s Secret Intern series, since it’s sickeningly relevant (although it’s not about their internships).
