ARTS & PUBLISHING NONPROFIT INTERNSHIPS: Writing & Editing Internship Job Listing at New Oregon Arts & Letters in Portland, OR

Internet

ABOUT THIS GIG
First things first: the writing & editing internship requires a minimum commitment of 10 hours a week for three months, or 15 hours a month for six months. Training and getting to know you takes a lot of energy and time on our part. NO FLAKES.

Great, that's out of the way. Writing and publishing require juggling multiple skill sets and constantly learning new information. Get up close in this internship! You'll be working with the editor of Plazm magazine and a related new website, plazm.org, and the director of New Oregon.

Founded by Portland artists in 1991, Plazm is an award-winning magazine of design, art, music, literature, and culture, beautifully printed on quality paper. Plazm publishes new and unknown talent alongside established folks like Iggy Pop, David Lynch, and Yoko Ono. The magazine is known for taking risks, including artistically unusual work, innovative writing, and political art.

Spring internship: begins Feb 15

Summer internship: begins in June/flexible dates
