Why I read them:
Zyzzyva: I’m interning there so having a familiarity with their work is always good.
Journalism Next (and other journalism books): I’m going to be writing articles for a newspaper, maybe even shadowing someone so again, familiarity with their job is key.
The Teen Vogue Handbook: I know this looks silly, but ModCloth is a fashion website, and fashion writing is something I’m interested in. It gave me a lot of tips and when I go in to modcloth I’ll be familiar with their job description.
