- MAKE Magazine
If interested, contact Sarah Dodson sarah@makemag.org
MAKE Literary Productions, NFP—a Chicago-based arts nonprofit—supports, promotes, and engages contemporary writers, artists, and audiences through publishing, multidisciplinary arts events, and international cultural exchange. MAKE has two main programs: MAKE Literary Magazine and the Lit & Luz Festival of Language, Literature, and Art. MAKE recently transitioned its print magazine to a fully online format and will continue to publish new writing and multimedia content, along with newly digitized content from its 18-issue archive. The international Lit & Luz Festival takes place in Chicago and in Mexico City and seeks to highlight Mexican and Latinx authors and artists, as well as translation, collaboration, and partnerships.
The individual in the internship role will contribute to
· organizing and creating the digital contents for MAKE Magazine.
· a weekly calendar of social media posts, to be designed by the intern and managing editor.
· a weekly communication email and blog post.
· on-site support during the Chicago festival, November 1-6.
· editorial and promotional tasks will arise throughout the internship and may also include grant writing, if there is interest in working on this skill.
Additional needs will arise throughout the internship, as projects are evolving. We ask that the intern be flexible in regard to work assignments, and in turn, we will be transparent regarding process and programming. It is our intention to provide a positive and professional learning experience where the intern builds on their skills and interests and feels welcome to bring new ideas to MAKE.
Interns could expect to learn ways to facilitate and support collaborative work with participants from different countries; to create programming that best serves both the participants and the audience; to budget resourcefully and respectfully; to both expand and maintain audiences; and how to use management platforms which foster collaborative work among administrative staff. We ourselves are always learning, and invite interns to be part of the process.
Interns should expect to work independently with set check-ins. They will be supervised by different senior staff, depending on the project. This will allow a variety of perspectives as well as work experiences.
MAKE interns will be highly organized and familiar with spreadsheets and online management platforms. They will be proficient at both writing and proofreading. They will be skilled users of WordPress, SquareSpace, as well as social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Where not familiar, they will possess a willingness to learn. Most importantly, interns will have a strong interest in the intersections of various art forms, international collaboration, as well as in the inner workings of an arts nonprofit. Spanish language proficiency is preferred, but not required.
Interns will be able to complete all work remotely, with the exception of on-site support during the festival, November 1-6.

Old Planet/New Ape: Editorial Intern
I am looking for an attentive reader and editorial intern for a non-fiction project (under contract with Wiley UK) on human impacts on the environment (“Old planet; New Ape). The first draft of the ms. will be completed in the early summer. Although this is a fairly technical topic—conceptual model related to the Anthropocene—it is written to be accessible and (dare I claim) entertaining. The intern will offer feedback on the readability of the manuscript, and will assist on seeking permissions for the use of tables and graphs from other publications. The ideal candidate need not be exclusively interested in science writing, but might have a keen interest in the fate of the planet. I am a writer primarily of creative nonfiction, who I also write fiction. I will introduce the intern to the conventions of creative nonfiction, and will offer advice on the editorial and writing best practices. The editorial internship should be prepared to meet once a week (either in a Covid-safe environment for a face-to-face meeting or via Zoom). Depending upon the availability of funds this internship comes with a modest honorarium. Liam Heneghan

6. Slag Glass City: Editorial Interns
Slag Glass City is a DePaul magazine of the urban essay arts. We are a creative nonfiction and multidisciplinary media journal engaged with sustainability, identity, and art in urban environments. Our area of concern is the livable city, but our interpretation of this language, more familiar to urban planners, geographers, and city theorists than to artists, is multifaceted. We are interested in post-industrial greening of urban spaces—from rooftop gardens to elevated bike trails to vertical farms—but we are equally enthralled by interrogative art and performance that values social justice and queerness, reinvents form, and honors the green human need to pursue pleasure, beauty, and joy.
Slag Glass City publishes continuously on the web—posting something new every month—as well an annually in miniature print form. We publish all shapes and disciplines of nonfiction arts, including: stories, reportage, essays, lyrics, photographs, visual arts, film and video, digital and audio works, performance, and new web-friendly forms we’ve yet to imagine. Editorial interns for Slag Glass City will assist with submission deliberation, correspondence, light editing and proofreading, submission solicitation, social media and book festival promotion, website updating, working with the winter magazine class editorial board, as well as undertake other administrative tasks. Slag Glass City requests a commitment of 10-20 flexible hours a week. The internship is unpaid.
To apply please send Professor Barrie Borich, bborich@depaul.edu, an email describing your interest and experience.
