I loved the chance to sharpen my skills as a writer and as an editor. I learn a lot about how to write to a specific audience, how to optimize an article for SEO, and how to market the magazine on social media.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have been able to edit more. This internship was mostly writing.
Advice
Be prepared for a lot of writing!

What I liked
HBM has given me so many opportunities for growth as a writer and graphic designer. It has been a flourishing and positive experience overall. I also highly recommend Hollywood Beauty Magazine for tips on beauty, health, and wellness! It also offers a great opportunity to connect with writers and enthusiasts.

Take advantage of your experience at HBM, try new skills and projects outside of your comfort zone!

Writing, Editing, Marketing Intern
January 2021 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
You did learn a lot about the beauty world. It's a great foot in the door into online writing. Also, the founder of the magazine is impressive, and you will grow to understand online social media business.
What I wish was different
I wish there was a heavier hand in editing! Some of the articles could have used more revisions for better clarification. Also, SEO is great, but adhering to YOAST SEO guidelines in every article was a pain and it felt like my more thought out material was heavily modified, which i did not like.
Advice
Working under the founder is great! She is flexible and tells you from the start, "You get what you put into this internship". The description for this internship seems like A LOT of work each week, but it's not really like that. You have a few tasks each week and move onto to something else. All the work is spread out.
