Reason for Item: I need to use this to reach out to people in the publishing field. It is through this pitch letter that I might be able to get an internship/shadowing spot at a publishing company.
Notes: It’s important that this letter is well-written and compelling because getting an internship in this field is difficult.
Resolution: This letter should be written and sent out sooner than later.
Action Item Area: Materials (books specifically)
Reason for Item: The reading portion of my Senior Project will be reading books from authors, looking at author interviews and blogposts, and also reading book reviews. I can access the interviews, blogposts and reviews through my computer, but e-books irritate my eyes and audio books put me to sleep so I would really appreciate being able to get paper copies of the books I would be reading.
Notes: I like annotating my books because I’m able to get more from them that way, and since I’ll be reading these books not only as a reader but also as a writer through a more critical eye, I really would like to be able to annotate these books.
Resolution: I will email Karyn a list of books I would like to read, or maybe make it into a GoogleDoc so I can update it as needed (if I were to get an internship at a specific publishing company, I should probably read their top selling books from the past few years).
