My internship will take place at The Maine Review (MeR), https://mainereview.com/, a literary journal. My supervisor, AJ Bermudez, is the Co-Editor of the journal. I will be working remotely. I don’t believe that MeR has a physical office location.
Having been born and raised in Maine, I became interested in interning here after reading this mission statement excerpt: “We cherish our Maine heritage, which values sustainability and stewardship of vital resources. We’ve modeled MeR after the local farmers who respect the land and feed our communities, and the fishers, lobsterers, wormers, clammers, hunters, conservancies, and environmental non-profits who advocate for and protect our wilderness and wildlife.” What would you like to learn during your internship? I’m interested in learning about and hope to be involved in every aspect of the processes and practices that lead to publication. The journal has recently moved from a triannual to a biannual publication schedule, and I will be curious to see how this shift impacts the timeframe and workload for the staff and my internship experience. What expectations do you have about your work? I’m expecting, based on my initial conversation with AJ, that this internship will be dynamic, thought-provoking, and fun, and that my voice and ideas will be fully welcomed by the MeR staff. Do you have any concerns, worries or nervousness as you contemplate the coming weeks of work and study? Not at this time.
