“Look mum, I’m in Time Out!”

Remember when I interned at Time Out over the Summer? Well in my two-week stint, they let me help out loads on the  2009/10 Student Guide and I even got a few things published.

And I’m very pleased. Not least because I would eat kittens for a byline in Time Out, but because the Student Guide is a really fantastic magazine – certainly the best student-aimed publication I’ve read. It’s incredibly useful without being patronising, and I’m very proud to have worked on it.

Regardez:

That’s a whole page with my writing! All about interiors, which is apt considering I write for Domestic Sluttery.

And another full page all about Camden, which I co-wrote (it’s mostly my writing though – soz Josh Heller!):

A little write-up about art fairs:

Not to mention a few bylines I got for additional research (e.g. tramping around East London art galleries).

I’m going to be unbearably smug over the next few days. Just so you know.

      Thanks! It’s £1.99 in newsagents :-) I’d really recommend it, there’s so much useful info about restaurants, clubs, museums etc that I never knew about.

    Yay! This is so fab. And it’s nice to see a company actually using interns properly.

    Amazing, congratulations! I hope realising your dream so early doesn’t mean the rest of your life is a crushing disappointment.
