The day is finally here...As from today I am officially a magazine editor.
Six months ago when doing magazine research I stumbled across an online student magazine called 'Her Campus'. The online site was launched in 2009 by three Harvard undergraduates and has since expanded with over 250 chapters at universities across the world, becoming the number 1 global community for college women.
I was instantly attracted to the magazine and when I noticed that UEA (my university) did not have a chapter, I immediately got in contact and started the application process to create and be editor in chief of the chapter at UEA as well as a Campus Correspondent for Her Campus in general. The process was long and difficult, with numerous edit tests, interviews, tests and written content to be assessed. Finally I was told in November that I had succeeded and I was over the moon.
Today Her Campus UEA launches under my leadership and our team have worked hard towards this day! I am so excited to gain this rare insight into the magazine industry and to work with the nationals on a larger scale in terms of publicity, journalism, social media and events.
