Miranda Literary Magazine for Internships & Enrichment

It was nice to spend the week with everyone. Thank you all for your time, creativity, and your friendship. Miranda Literary Magazine is a growing online source for fiction, poetry, essays, articles, books, reviews, podcasts, and visual art. As you consider your enrichment project or your internship, consider working with Miranda Literary Magazine, or Miranda Films, as part of your work. We can tailor our needs to fit your course outline. If you are looking for two hours a week as a course supplement, or an internship opportunity, we can make it work. Areas of interest include, web editing, marketing, public relations, content and slush pile editing, promotional materials, and more. Below are some of the projects we need help in. If they don't interest you in your direct coursework, tell us what does.

I mention the length or scope of the some of these projects because of time commitments. Some are very extensive, some are interactive.

  • Reading Board Manager - get more out of our reading board, from recruitment to reading submissions. How do we make the reading board members feel important?(Enrichment)

The color-coded time commitment and scope breakdown made my color-blind eyes weep tears that all ran together into a colorless pool of sadness.
Just kidding!
I am color blind though but I can get my wife to help me out.

Thanks for the post, Ron.

Sorry about that. I have updated it and I am currently paying off a fine from the ADA for not posting within the scope of the readership. Rookie mistake. RON
