Print magazines make their money from a number of sources, including advertising, and spend it on everything from magazine distribution to photoshoot expenses—though the age of COVID may have created a new market for photoshoots done at home and over Zoom.
Brands are all about creating loyal audiences and finding ways to monetize their content to continue to serve those audiences. At the end of the day, we broke into small groups with NYU SPI alumni to share their wisdom and experiences in the industry and pass on their best advice to us as emerging professionals. Believe in what you are doing , was a piece of particularly memorable advice left with my small group from an alumna. Believe in the people you are working with.
Of course, we all wanted to hear about the entry point to jobs in magazine media: the edit test. Lauren Iannotti, Editor-in-Chief at Rachel Ray in Season and Reveal , walked us through the elements of an edit test and how to ace it. We learned from there how to build a feature story and the best qualities one needs to be a good feature writer: confidence in writing and the ability not to say the first and most obvious thing, according to Sarah Smith, Executive Editor of Prevention.
We got a crash course on magazine visuals from some superstars in the industry. Publishers really appreciate that, more than you might guess..
I was with a really small publisher few have ever heard of, working under a wonderfully supportive supervisor with a true talent for mentorship. He trusted me, and ended up hiring me for freelance work as time passed. Great story, the SPI sounds amazing! Do you have any friends who were international students? Thanks so much for sharing your question! One of my good friends is an international student in the NYU M. Naturally, the implications of the Masters program are a bit different, but she networks very closely with all the international publishing students at NYU, and has a lot of detailed thoughts about the job-prospects after completion.
May I give her your email address as it shows up for me on the back-end here to my friend to contact you? I know she can put you in touch with lots of other folks, too. Honestly I knew I loved books, magazines, and publishing in general since childhood, but have taken so many detours growing up, just for earning a living. Could you please give my email address to your friend too?
Additionally, bravo for this great website. You truly inspired me and made me believe I can do it. The thrill of of diving into a new career after experiences in other areas must be terrifying—it is a terror I have never experienced—but making that choice with your skills and abilities is, I think, still one of the best choices you can make.
And obviously talking to as many people as you can and finding as many perspectives as possible is the best way to go. And do you think that since my degree is in accounting and banking going for the summer program would be enough?
Hi Elizabeth, I am a junior in college right now hoping to break into the publishing industry. I have applied for a few internships for this summer, but I really do not know what my chances are. I have considered SPI, but I am concerned with the expenses. Is it difficult to get accepted? Do you have any tips for someone just starting out? Thanks, Kyle. I have read a lot about the program but nothing I have read tells me if it will help gear me towards eventually becoming an agent.
I have had some remote internships but being a CT resident has kept me from interning at any Literary Agencies or Small Publishers. What is your advise on the matter. Do you know if SPI is a good stepping stone for becoming a Lit. Thanks so much for this really smart question, Marnise.
I could make educated generalizations myself, but would rather get you something with a little more practical application. You are entirely correct that our goal is to give our students a very broad exposure to the publishing industry and all its components.
We do indeed teach our students about literary agencies and their integral role in the publishing process. A number of our students have indeed gone on to positions in literary agencies. Yes this really does help! I have a lot to think about in the next few months. Thank you so much for the interesting article and responses. Do you happen to know anyone I could email and ask a few questions? Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for your interest! Good luck to you! So, out of all of the reviews and information I have found on this program, this article and the responses to it have been the most helpful.
Thank you for do this. I do have a question, though. Evidently, this publisher does not have a physical office, but runs out of the homes of the various staff members. Here is my question, just offhand, does this sound like a good option? Or should I look for other opportunities? Thank you for letting us know—it really helps a lot.
