New Yorker Columnist

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>I'm a High School Sophomore and I really like, and am good at, writing. I've written tons of half finished, 100k+ word stories since 5th grade, and now every essay I undertake I just naturally strive to make perfect. </p>

<p>My goal is to be published in the New Yorker by the time I apply to colleges, but, let's face it, that's not likely to happen (sorry, thread title). Right now, I'm aiming to publish an article in the Boston Globe. </p>

<p>Right now I'm just beginning to write a piece about the Vietnam War and its relationship to the Second Gulf War, both of which are subjects that interest me. Once I have this edited and concise, would I just send it to Mr. Globe's house with a name and request for money? Is the Boston Globe, or any such paper/magazine, actually looking to publish war editorials? </p>

<p>Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated,</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>you should go to a school with a top student newspaper, get involved there, become an editor (not necessarily EIC just some editing), then you’re almost guaranteed an internship at a big newspaper or magazine. then you can work there</p>
