Ed's Trust Fund

Ed's Passing Out Cash!

Can’t afford to live in New York City? Don’t have a trust fund? Ed’ll give you the cash! (Who’s your daddy now?)

Ed knows what it’s like to be an unpaid intern in the City—eating ramen noodles every day, temping for cash, scrounging just about anything from the giveaway tables at work just because it’s “free.” To combat the incredible expense of the City, Ed’s gonna give awesome unpaid mag interns a thousand bucks to use for living, travel and whatever other expenses. Assuming Ed can raise the dough, there’ll be one lucky whippersnapper each fall and spring semester and two recipients in the summer.

Summer Deadline: FRIDAY, JUNE 6! What Ed’s saying is you better get crackin’ on your application!

SUCCESS STORIES

Trust Fund Testimonials

With their internships now over, Ed’s two summer 2007 Trust Fund winners—Esquire’s Julie Vadnal and Lucky’s Maniezheh Firouzi—reveal why the cool grand they both got helped them out so much.

Says Julie:
“The Trust Fund is what Ed2010 is all about—helping young editors get ahead in this business. As an unpaid intern this summer, $1,000 was the validation I needed to graduate from ramen to Cup-a-Soup.

ASK ED

Major in Fashion or Journalism?

Hi Ed,

I’m a high school senior, and I am very interested in working for a teen fashion magazine like Seventeen or Teen Vogue. However, I am not sure what my major in college should be. I am interested in fashion and editorial. I was initially planning to major in communications and journalism, but I’m not sure, especially since these magazines often use freelance writers. What’s your advice? What’s the best major for this career goal?

Please help me Ed!
Sabrina

CAMPUS EVENTS

West Virginia EOC Rubs Elbows with Ed Founder!

Officers with Chandra.jpg

Edsters at West Virginia University were ecstatic to meet Ed2010 founder and CosmoGIRL! executive editor Chandra Czape Turner when she spoke on campus Nov. 4. It was the first time the group had hosted a NYC editor since its founding in August, so Chandra was the ideal inaugural speaker.

Chandra spoke to more than 50 students and faculty members, walking the group through the editing process of a magazine and revealing the truth behind some of the industry’s myths.

Here are some of the interesting things Ed at WVU learned:

1. Editors at Magazines Write! It’s true! Yes, magazines do hire writers, but editors do a lot more than just edit. They write many of the stories that appear in the magazine and have creative control over how writers’ stories are published. So if you want to be a freelance writer who works from home in your pajamas, you should really try working as an editor first.
