TheCelebrityCafe.com, the Internet's longest-running entertainment magazine now in its 14th year, offers an unpaid internship on our editorial staff for the summer semester. We offer interns the opportunity to work independently on varied assignments, while receiving guidance from our editors. These may include conducting interviews, researching and writing articles, restaurant and venue reviews, taking part in discussions on our message board, and other projects involved in our magazine. As this is a virtual office, we all communicate via email, instant messenger and phone. The schedule is very flexible, and we can adjust your workload according to how much time you can commit.

We are looking in particular for someone interested in developing skills as a writer/editor, specifically of online content. Important qualifications include: solid writing ability (writing samples will be requested and an English major or minor is a plus), excellent proofreading skills, and outstanding communication skills. Some knowledge of internet research via search engines, HTML, and social media networks will be very helpful. Applicants must demonstrate an ability to work independently, have knowledge of (or willingness to learn about) online communities (in particular message boards/forums), organization skills, and, hopefully, a sense of humor, curiosity and enthusiasm!

First, please visit TheCelebrityCafe.com and read some of the articles on the front page; this may help you see whether our topics and format interest you. If so, send us your resume and cover letter describing your background (school, hobbies, work) and your hopes for what this internship might provide. Please attach two or three writing samples. Send your resume, cover letter and samples to neal[at]thecelebritycafe[dot]com.
