I NEED AN INTERN! If you are interested, please read all the info after the comic. If you’re not interested, don’t read it, it’s hella boring.
Internship stuff:
I realized trying to run three marginally successful side businesses while simultaneously working on two comics and an extensive exploring project is completely ridiculous. If you’re a student, you can get college credit on account of my being “a published author” (please never made me say that again) but please note that the gig only partially involves comics and is more about running home businesses of varying sorts. You can definitely get art/comics classes credits, and since it involves a lot of different work, possibly other class credit depending on how you spin it. Or if you’re not a student and you just have some free time and you want to help someone out, that works too.
I mostly need help with computer junk, like listing things on ebay, etsy, handling sales and packaging, some internet PR stuff and photoshop work on comics. I would love to be able to pay, but at the moment I have to rely on that whole fucked up “interns work for free/college credit” thing. If certain sales reach a certain point, I can offer a percentage of said sales. It’d be around 4-8 hours a week, give or take depending on the project I’m doing that week, and I’m super flexible with days/times. Some stuff can be done from home via email and on your own computer, but some has to be done in my apartment, so you can’t be allergic to cats, and I’m really sorry but you’re going to have to listen to a lot of Jim Croce and hot 70′s jams.
If you’re looking specifically for art credit and want an internship to help learn the craft of comics, that’s not what I’m offering, sorry. All comics computer work will be mostly photoshop correction/layout stuff and some mini comic making. Super basic stuff. If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, please pass this along. I live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, so factor that into your decision, although I’d probably only need you to come to my apartment about once or twice a week. Contact me at juliawertz@gmail.com with any questions, your availability, tell me a little about yourself, or whatever else it is people discuss in such correspondence. It might take me a day or three to get back to you. Thanks for reading all this, I pretty much fell asleep writing it.
