Say What Magazine

During the summer after my junior year (this past summer), I was an intern at Say What Magazine, which is a part of Young Chicago Authors. The entire editorial board of the magazine consists of young people and the magazine is written for young people. It is used as a literary magazine, a classroom tool, and a general voice for youth voices. The magazine has a national and international readership of around 30,000. I was not only able to write three articles for the magazine, but also help establish a marketing (including social media) and distribution plan. We also went on field trips to cultural centers, poetry readings, and Time Out Magazine. The internship allowed me to gain experience in publications, journalism, and creative writing.
