Texas Monthly 816 Congress Ave #1700 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Internship Coordinator, I am writing to express my interest the Custom Publishing or Editorial Internships at Texas Monthly for Spring or Summer 2017. With my classes taken to receive a Bachelors degree in English Writing and Rhetoric and Psychology, teaching skills, and experience as the Editor-in-Chief of the St. Edward’s University Humor Magazine, B-Hooved, I would be an ideal candidate for the Custom Publishing or Editorial Internships at Texas Monthly. I had the opportunity to serve as the Editor-in-Chief of B-Hooved, the St. Edward’s Humor Magazine. This rich experience building the publication from the ground up, collaborating with excellent team members, and bringing the magazine to print gave me profound insight into leading a team and solidified my passion with working on publications and working extensively with content editing. I also enjoyed the process of generating creative content and the ability to give others the opportunity to express themselves and making people laugh. During my time at St. Edward’s University, I have had the opportunity to serve as a teaching assistant in the Freshman Studies Internship Program. Working with freshman students allowed me to share my passion for writing, work one-on-one editing and proofing assignments, lead study sessions, and engage in other classroom activities such as grading and taking attendance. The invaluable skills that I shared with others and took away from this experience will help me be a productive and supportive team member. As stated in your “About Us” page on the Texas Monthly website, Texas Monthly staff value storytelling. As a student of English Writing and Rhetoric and Psychology at St. Edward’s University, I have a special appreciation for taking a piece of news or culture and building it into a rich, compelling story that inspires readers. Because we share this value, I believe I would be a strong fit for the Custom Publishing or Editorial Internships at Texas Monthly. I have enclosed my resume. Please contact me at ryan.wheeler.atx@gmail.com. Sincerely,

J. Ryan Wheeler
