The intern will work closely with and be supervised by both James Tadd Adcox, editor, and Ian McCarty, Managing Editor, and will have the opportunity to see, close-up, the process of content selection, design, proofreading, printing, and publication.
This position is an unpaid internship, and will last through the completion of Issue 4 (September/October 2011), with potential for renewal at that time. The position will require 5-10 hours/week of in-person and computer work.
