- Creating copy for stlouishomesmag.com, our blog and e-newsletters
- Updating editorial databases and compiling our calendar of events
- Assisting with research, scouting, photo shoots and articles
- Assisting with image requests
- Other duties as needed
Our internships are unpaid and require a minimum commitment of eight hours per week in our office, during business hours. Internships last from three to six months, and interns must receive college credit. To apply for this program, please e-mail a cover letter, résumé and writing samples (published articles, class papers, creative writing projects, etc.) to Managing Editor Katie Underhill at kunderhill@stlouishomesmag.com. No phone calls, please.
