Intern Juan Payan-Lopez Reflects on his Internship with Steady Moon Press
The
smoke from the aged cigarette sitting between my fingers spiraling upwards
towards the collection plate of a ceiling, all previous donations sat up there,
whirling in an aqueous fashion; my crisp white shirt stained with sweat and
odor, my furrowed brow examining the paper before me – red pen in hand, I
begin. I actually do not smoke cigarettes, but if I did, this is the job
stereotype/cliché that my mind holds in reserve for an editor (right next to
the private eyes and detectives). However, I could not have been more wrong;
not once did I see the whites of any leaves of paper (Steady Moon Press is a
green and e-company – making paper archaic), hold an editing pen (let alone a
red one), or smoke a cigarette. No, instead, my time was spent behind the white
glow of my laptop, performing all the basics: highlighting, Googling,
scrolling, staring, typing, e-mailing, reading, and of course, re-reading.
The
past four months have been strenuous balancing a non-paid, a part-time, and
full-time student throughout the semester; but I’m ever grateful to Steady Moon
Press and its founder Amanda Clark for the opportunity that they have presented
me with. I am both appreciate and sad to move on; appreciative of the authors
and poets who submitted and whose countless poems I sat reading and editing,
honing my skills – I will never forget the experience I earned with the
writing, editing, and publishing process; sad because I know the industry
doesn’t work the same, and there won’t always be the one-on-one consultation of
a seasoned veteran (like Ms. Clark). I, like all of you, look forward with
great anticipation to the arrival of the final product: 2013’s The Poet’s Word.
