Top 10 List of Working in Editorial at IVP
It’s time for the obligatory top 10 list, folks. The list might be a little different at the end of my internship (that’s less than a month now!), but here it is (in no particular order):
(1) Starbucks breaks.
(2) Popcorn Wednesdays (on Thursdays just for the intern!).
(3) Food from Dave’s wife’s bakery.*
(4) Getting to read books all the time.
(5) Getting to hear Dave’s good and bad jokes all the time.
(6) Meeting authors.
(7) Using big words and not feeling show-offy. Or using big words and having other people know what they mean. And for that matter, having other people use big words and learning what they mean.
(8) Jim Hoover being the first and only person you’ve seen go into the library and lug the fifty-year-old, 2,662-page Webster’s New International Dictionary off the shelf to look up the correct usage of a word.
(9) Elaina telling Dave to hire you because you like Alias.
(10) Lisa’s rhyming emails.
*I realize the first three listed are food-related. I’m not sure if that’s a reflection on me or IVP.
