work for a magazine

I am still interested in doing… I think for now, I am going to give up on it. It’s not a goal that I’m actively working on and it’s not something I intend to work on. It’s a pipe dream. I’m not going to give it any energy because it’s become something that matters less to me over the years.

The magazine industry is very cut throat and commercial. My writing is anything but. I like the fact that I am a creative writer. I write to experiment, to paint and to feel.

I have friends who went and trained at big magazines like Hello! and Bliss as interns and are now working for smaller magazines and toiling their way up. They have drive and ambition and take chances- quit jobs on a whim and trade stories to other companies because that’s the way the wind blows. I’m not like that and I don’t want to be like that.

I always dreamed of being one of those agony aunts or lifestyle – girl about town- style writers when I was 12. Who knows, maybe one day an opportunity will fall from the sky into my lap like an apple. Hey, it happens. But for now… I’m content teaching and pottering about in the nooks and crannies of my own life, my own head and taking each career move as it comes. At the moment that’s getting onto a PGCE course. The writing career is on the backburner so to speak because I’m not brave enough to step out and give it my all but also because I’ve changed as a person!

The world needs more Pazaz! Call it “Angel La’ De’jour”! I’ll be the one to keep the watchers coming back for more. They’ll never know what to expected. Ever since the day I was born, the world’s attention has been on me, like I was born in a hospital in TV land. Watchers have a tendency to listen to those who inspire them. People who they can’t keep their eyes off of. That would be me! I’ve always set the fashion of being pretty, smart and clumbsy. It works for me, and I hope it works for America. I’m hoping to set a more REAL trend, of the REAL woman. Something of which I think television has been missing. Us TV women might be all beautiful, smart, and seem to be perfect in every way to the watcher. But this is something that ALL WOMEN have in common, and will hopefully inspire those woman who think their not perfect enough to be on TV, to take a shot at it. We are all clumbsy! The cuter they make us, the harder we fall. It seems like television blocks out the most important thing about being human. MISTAKES! I’m so tired of hearing girls not reaching for their TV dreams becuase they say their not perfect enough. Well I wanna be the first shadow of a chance, to show these girls that you can still be your old clumbsy self, GLAMORFIED. Im Angel Brame, age 24 from Clinton, Maryland! Smart, beautiful, clumbsy and perfect! That’s why I’m star material. umahhhhhh chow

This is impossible. Internships are cutthroat; experience is just another faraway concept, one that belongs in a dreamland. I don’t know what I’m doing or where I belong. SO WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME? I can feel myself backing into a corner/digging myself into a corner/receding deep into myself/do you get the picture?

Writing for National Geographic has been my dream since I was 14. I tucked it into my back pocket for a while, though, after people started questioning whether or not I was cut out for the work, whether I could deal with all the action and deadlines and pressure. I wasn’t sure either. I mean, I was an insecure 14-year-old at the time. How was I supposed to answer all their questions? How was I supposed to know whether or not this was “RIGHT FOR ME”? But I want this, I know that much. So… where do I start? I’m at Cornell University. No journalism major. There’s communications. But it’s no big deal. But that’s where I’m starting. Eventually it all comes down to experience, right?

Working for a magazine. You see in movies, on television shows, and in fine print right in front of your face. Its everything I’ve ever wanted. Meeting big people. Attending the biggest events. Being up to date and down with the newest fashion and gossip. Living in a big city working for my favorite magazine. My dreams would come true. I just dont know how to do it. Where to start, what classes to take, where to apply. i dont know how to get there or who to talk to . its all so far away, but i want it oh so bad!!

I am looking for a job in a magazine in sydney metro aarea doing anything i can just to get in,

please let me know if there is anything available.

I love to read magazines, write, and photography. Plus I know a lot about publishing, so a magazine would be an amazing place to work.

I’m a writer already- in my heart… and I’m at university studying writing but I specialise in poetry and “creative” works as opposed to the journalism side of things but I joined a student writers group and they put out a magazine which I’m keen to be involved with, particularly because as a part of my degree I need “published” works to put towards my portfolio. I’ve just been given my first assignment, to write a review on the Proclaimers. A free gig with guest list entry… and a few hundred words to write- good practice, it should be a laugh… especially as I get to take a friend!!!! Miss B was my first choice because without her I wouldn’t have written to my editor and asked for it in the first place. I don’t know a thing about the Proclaimers soooo I have ooooh 2 weeks to get familiar LOL. Wish me luck! :)

I’ve always been inspired by Dan Eldon’s journals…I feel like it would be really cool to do something like that, bringing together photojournalism and writing, two things I’ve always loved. I’m not sure how to get into this though, or what college/majors I should look into to pursue a career in working for a magazine…. I know that a good internship somewhere is really important but I’m not sure where to start.

I work for a local magazine as an art manager. I go out and find artist to put in the magazine and they work under me while I work under the art director. He tells me what he wants/needs and I go out and find it, while also making outside contacts for the magazine
