Congrats to the EIC Raffle Winners!

eicraffle-july2010

Ed had a fabulous time at the EIC Raffle Happy Hour last week. The back room of Perdition was packed! Thank you to everyone who came and for braving the heat and humidity!

Congratulations to the EIC Raffle winners: Alyssa Grossman, who will meet with Nancy Novogrod of Travel + Leisure, and Amelia Bienstock, who will meet with Maile Carpenter of Food Network Magazine. Unfortunately Alyssa and Amelia both left before the raffle, so Ed staffers Karen Synder Duke and Erin Strecker stood in for our traditional (and yes, rather cheesy) “I won the raffle” photo.

We hope to see you all at our next happy hour which we’ll announce soon. And don’t forget to check out the upcoming “How to Transition from Print Magazines to the Web” panel and our new “How to Write (and Sell) Personal Essays” class!

How to Write (and Sell) Personal Essays

Ed loves reading people’s stories—and is thrilled there are still plenty of magazines and websites that pay writers for their personal essays. The best part? You don’t necessarily need to have high-profile clips to sell your story to a major magazine—plenty of Ed’s friends have gotten their first clip from a personal essay!

Did You Know?

.. that all of the Ed staff, including Ed himself, are full-time magazine editors? And did you further know that everything that they do for Ed (and, duh, you) they do it out of the goodness of their hearts? (Read: no pay.) OK; Just had to clear that up.
