LaReinaMargot este es el sitio de las metas del 2009

No pero sí... 10 months ago

Lástima que lo de equinoXio no salió como yo pensaba. Lo digo porque realmente tenía muy buenas ideas de cosas que quería hacer… Mi columna, Life in the Picture Motion seguirá. Y pués ya veré que hago con la estancia.
Pero parece que escribir para un impreso se puede concretar. Es una revista universitaria, y aunque son reseñas de 130 palabras, por algo se comienza.

Escribir un artículo semanal para una revista 10 months ago

Por ahora está mi columna de equinoXio…
Me gustaría escribir para una publicación de alto tiraje. Pero si no lo logro, lo que realmente quiero por este año, es tener un ritmo de trabajo, escribir un artículo a la semana y tener un ritmo de escritura.



MemoryRose is feeling awesome.

So I’m taking this a step further, I’ve looked into applying at a different University that offers Journalism.

I’m waiting for the information of Acceptance for September 2009.

THE BEGINNING 13 months ago

As the sun pierced through the window pane,i dashed the pillow unto the ground.i yarned hard-hard enough to get rid of my sweet dreams,in which i had been afflicted in.

Its actually not that hard to get into.

I am currently employed by a magazine and i love it. Surprisingly i have no background in writing, journalism, arts, or anything like that.

Portfolio of published work is EVERYTHING in terms of breaking into the biz. Most people don’t seem to know that.

after my engineering degree i pretty much had a change of heart and decided to work for a magazine. so i busted a$$ and built my portfolio contributing to various publications and now I’m happily employed by Details Mag.

I wrote a how to do it/ how i did it if you are interested http://www.43things.com/how_i_did_it/view/6781/how-to-write-for-a-magazine

Some resources to help the rest of you build your portfolio
Email
info@shavemagazine.com
great portfolio builder (just email a request to contribute or internship, they are very nice and helpful, they don’t say no to anyone and can help you get started)

Your local newspaper
(ask about voluntary positions, usually there are only limited spots available, you may also need some sort of degree)

internship@men.style.com
internship at Details (there is only 3-4 spots available and can be unpaid work… this is more for students in some college coop program. Also depending on the year there can be thousands of applicants and it gets pretty competitive)

Good luck to all of you.
And wait till you see all the freebies a magazine job gets!!!! :)

Write for a magazine 21 months ago

Doesn’t even need to be on a regular basis but I’ve rekindled my love for writing through my blog and I’d really love to write in other venues.
