A blog post by Publishing Intern Pam Gainer
My internship at Modern Memoirs is a component of my Immersion in Publishing class at Bay Path University. One assignment is to write regular blog posts incorporating our internship experience. Fittingly enough, in our first post for class, we were asked to write about “beginnings.” Referring to the staff bio I wrote as one of my first tasks at Modern Memoirs, I wrote about authenticity and beginning again, sharing:
“I’m inspired by my boys, as I watch them go out into the world, knowing themselves and following their own unique paths. I see myself doing the same thing, only it’s happening during the second half of life.”
Here is a link to the full blog post, which appears on my Substack, “Pam’s Daybook,” where you can find more of my writing, too.
