Every summer, Ball State hosts agents, authors, editors, and other publishing specialists at the annual Midwest Writer’s Workshop (MWW). The workshop is held from July 23-25, just three short days, and you (yes, we mean you) can play a big part in its success!

For current students in English, including the graduating class of 2015, MWW has eight paid internship opportunities. You’ll gain valuable experience, a great line on your resume, and a chance to network in your field.

Did we mention it’s paid?

Some extra summer spending money never hurt anyone, right?

Let’s sum it up so far:

• a paid internship ($9/hr, 34 hours, to be exact), happening over the course of three days (no long term commitment that might interrupt your summer plans)
• a chance to meet, mingle, and work with influential people in the industry, a networking opportunity you won’t see very often
• an opportunity to significantly improve your resume with one single job
