During my spring 2021 semester at the University of Central Florida (UCF), I was an editorial intern and social media manager for Issue 19 of UCF’s Imprint Magazine. Imprint is a student-run online publication supported by the Department of Writing and Rhetoric. All articles published on the website are written by UCF students.


As an editorial intern, I was responsible for communicating with my co-intern, Lindsey. Our main point of communication was through Google Docs. We occasionally met on Zoom with our faculty supervisor, Professor Deborah Weaver and held meetings on our own with just the two of us. 

Our first task was to come up with a theme. We ended up choosing “What We Care About.” Our theme encompassed ideas or concepts that UCF students are passionate about. Next, we needed to create effective marketing strategies that would grab the attention of potential student writers. Once the deadline past for pitches, we received 31 pitches. Our supervisor told us that was the biggest number of pitches the publication has ever received at the time.

Our next move was choosing the pitches we wanted to see turned into an article. Articles went through one round of comprehensive edits and proofreading. 


As social media manager, I was in charge of creating and posting content on Instagram and Twitter. I have linked some of the content I posted on Instagram below. I used Twitter for quick updates and announcements.


My experience at Imprint was a learning curve when it came to editing, recruiting, and content creation. This experience expanded my editing skills, put my skills as a graphic designer and creator to the test, and allowed me to brush up on my WordPress knowledge. I am grateful that I received the opportunity to intern at UCF’s Imprint Magazine because of the experience I gained from my time there as an editorial intern and social media manager.
