Editorial Intern, Saugatuck Magazine

Saugatuck Magazine is a  new coastal lifestyle publication, based in Westport, CT, seeking local interns for the Summer 2025 semester. Interns will have the opportunity to pitch stories, interview subjects, and write material for a high end print publication. Interns may be required to occasionally go to site visits or interview subjects in person, so applicants must live in the vicinity of Fairfield County, CT. 

Through their work at the magazine, interns will add to their personal portfolio of writing samples and receive full credit for any writing that is included in the magazines or online. They’ll also build relationships with local businesses, philanthropic organizations, and PR professionals. Interns will be overseen by and work closely with the Local Editor of our publications. 

Aside from writing stories, day to day intern responsibilities may include:

-fact checking and editing for grammar

-preliminary story research

-sourcing high resolution images

-contacting individuals to arrange interviews

-reaching out to local organizations for news and updates 

Excellent news writing and editing skills are required. Photography and videography skills are a bonus.

Schedule is flexible and dependent on the applicant’s availability. Total hours would amount to 15 supervised hours per week, or as many hours as required by the student’s program to receive course credit. This is an unpaid internship for course credit only.

Apply on Handshake OR send applications to editor@saugatuckmag.com by Wednesday, 5/14/25. Please include 3 writing samples and a resume in your application. Additional application materials (link to a portfolio, photo samples, Vimeo/YouTube link) are encouraged.
