Ampersand Ideas

Write out three "pitches" for three different Ampersand articles that you might write for this year's publication.

cool pic, huh? 




  1. For pitch numero uno, I could "recycle" the internship article I wrote for Unboxed, which is titled: "Going Against the Zeitgeist." It should be fully edited and refined well before Ampersand is ready to be a book.
  2. Of course, I see pitch numero uno as cheating in a way, so I could write a whole new article on internship, maybe focusing a little more on the experience of internship rather than on the process of securing an internship so that I can relate a specific experience rather than outright promote internship. The only flaw I see with this pitch is that I don't have any experiences that really stand out from the rest--no funny stories or immediately transformative, life-changing events.
  3. I could re-work my mentor interview and use it as my ampersand article (it has some pretty awesome quotes in it).
