Internship Opportunities:
"I had such a blast working alongside Emily, advertising for Tidal Echoes, answering people's questions, and soliciting submissions. First came the classroom talks, the radio show, and the general flyer distribution. Then came the compiling all of the submissions and hundreds of response emails to those that submitted. And as I received them, I went through and read every single one and it was amazing to see all of the talent within Southeast Alaska. Seeing the final journal and putting a face to all those that had submitted was the highlight of my internship. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks, Emily, for letting me be involved with such a great literary project." - - Kari Dammerman, Fall Intern 2008.

"Having the opportunity to create and design posters, working with KTOO radio, talking with the different classes and answering countless e-mails really opened my eyes to the different types of communications necessary to creating a literary journal and the work involved. Working with Emily and Virginia was a great experience and I have definitely learned a lot about the work behind the submission process." --Hollis Kitchin, Fall Intern 2009.
