jose’s Answer

find publishing houses (No house is too small) and send them an email asking if you can inter there. It doesn't have to be for fiction necessarily. Look for publishers who focus on journals, local interest, etc. If you live somewhere with a local news paper, reach out tot hem. If you live anywhere with a local or regional magazine, give them a call.
Best of success to you!

Madeleine’s Answer

As for finding local internships, I recommend Googling your community to see what is out there. My first writing position came when I was a junior in college and I asked to speak with the editor. I was hired when I stated, I understand Emily Dickinson started out in journalism and I would like to give it a try.

I would just urge you to be authentic. I have freelanced all my life, but my family always came first, and I substitute taught to supplement the income. I never earned enough to make a living off of either one, but I enjoyed the experience.

You can find full-time employment through technical writing, which I would recommend if you needed the income.

I should tell you most of my employers became my lifelong friends.

Tim’s Answer

Let me open your eyes to the world of publishing, Sara. There's a vast universe of publishing beyond traditional publishing houses. For more than 35 years, I've been involved in medical and health science publishing, helping bring around 400 books to life with contributions from doctors and health professionals. It's been an incredible journey. This past year, I've been with the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association, where we've published five journals—over 900 articles and more than 11,000 pages in 2024 alone! There's even a team here that puts out a lively magazine every two months. The key takeaway? Publishing is happening everywhere you look.

As a young person, be open to exploring any type of publishing. Gaining experience is crucial. As you learn, focus on becoming an expert in something you truly enjoy. If you love what you do, time will fly by. Maybe you're passionate about dogs—start a blog about dog care today. Or if you're fascinated by the stunning images from the Webb Telescope, write a blog to help kids understand them.

Go for it, Sara. The publishing world is eager for bright, young talents like you.
