At the end of the week, all of the interns and editors get together and discuss what we think we will write on. We help guide each other to important sources and share what we know of the issues at hand. The third week is the busiest. If you re considering writing for a living this is good practice and preparation. I normally spend all day every day writing to prepare for Monday s intern edit and because we re a monthly, it s not unusual to have to rewrite and rewrite your article up until press time, as newly released press releases make your info obsolete or erroneous.
Fourth week is edit.
Again this is excellent preparation for anyone considering writing for a living. While it can be frustrating, the editing process helps you evolve as a writer in a way that is simply impossible in a classroom. Here, you have a handful of other interns as well as two experienced editors combing over your work multiple times helping you to improve every day.
