Equestrian Living Magazine: from Intern to Contributing Writer
Equestrian Living Magazine, an internationally-published equestrian lifestyle magazine, allowed me the opportunity to combine two of my passions – horses and writing. As an intern, I performed various tasks including transcribing interviews, researching horse show venues, and reaching out to different companies and PR representatives from all over the world. Additionally, one of my key responsibilities was to pitch new story ideas to my colleagues. Equestrian Living features stories related to equestrian art, fashion, travel, people, real estate, science/health, competitions, and charity work, so there were plenty of options to choose from to find new ideas. Several of the concepts I pitched were accepted by my editors, and I was given the opportunity to write my own articles for publication. By the end of the summer, I became a contributing writer for the magazine in addition to my role as an intern.
