Story Magazine intern works with award-winning authors

Internships

Lily Carroll ‘22, a double major in English and religion, leapt at an opportunity to hone her skills by working with award-winning authors as she interned with Story Magazine in the summer of 2021.

必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s literary magazine, Exile, gave Carroll an opportunity to gain practical knowledge as an editor during her sophomore year. “I had very little experience beforehand, but spending a semester working on the magazine awakened something within me that I wanted to explore,” she says.

In partnership with her fellow Editor-In-Chief, Carroll reads through submissions, decides what to accept, and formats the magazine. “We release a 50-75 page magazine of only student work every year.”

“The continuation of Exile during my junior year only deepened my passion for working with literary magazines, and when I began to intern for Story, I realized this is definitely something I want to continue to do throughout my life.” Carroll has continued her work with Story during her fall semester.

In addition to her work with Exile, Carroll has a small online business creating and selling embroidered clothing and tote bags. She also plays guitar, and each semester, she sets a goal of at least five non-academic books to read.

“After graduation, I plan on taking a gap year and then continue my graduate studies, hopefully attaining a Ph.D. in English Literature.”
