BRAVA Magazine hosts editorial internships year-round for enthusiastic, driven and creative college students and recent graduates. Our interns thrive as part of our small, close-knit team of women, learning many aspects of the magazine business from the inside out.
Along with that valuable experience, they come away with an impressive portfolio of their published work, both in print and online. Our interns have gone on to writing or marketing positions at other publications, businesses and organizations. Some of our interns have gone on to freelance write for BRAVA after their internship.
Internships typically run for the duration of a single school term, but on occasion, some of our interns have extended their stay to multiple semesters. These internships are unpaid.
