I'm looking for a job that you write a story, poem, etc. and create an art work for a magazine and you get paid. FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS ONLY!!!

BTW - My sister is in high school and she is looking for that kind of job.

Laruen -- did you know that even most adult writers and artists do not make money writing stories or poems or creating art work?

If you want to make money, babysit or work at McDonald's.

I'm not going to work at McDonald! That for those people who don't have a good education, stack off in school! They end up making about 10-20 dollars! Not enough money

my teachers said that people who work their don't have a good education, stack off in school!

you need a good job that you can make a lot of money

btw - that not even my career, working at Mcdonalds... yeah right like that's going to happen

BTW - artist and authors do make money, many authors make many money when they write books,

artist make money too you know,

by selling their art work or having an art show for people to see

i'll find research myself then

and besides they are magazine jobs

i don't have a job, but i win awards with poetry. maybe you could enter contests and try and get published. go to auctions and sell artwork......... there ar4e lots of choices. im 12 and i have won a lot for my writing.... i hope to make a living like this........... get more published

Laruen, my best friend wrote articles for noted magazines. He also wrote nine published books. Neither he nor his illustrator made enough money to make a living.

Many successful people worked in fast food restaurants when they were in high school and college.

Good luck!

Lauren: All arguments are very good points made by both sides. And yes, it is hard to make a living as an artist or writer. They aren't called starving artists for nothing.

On the other side, if art and creativity are your passion, nothing less will ever satisfy you. (And honestly, who really wants to work in fast-food?)

If I can make a suggestion, go with what feels right to you. Anyone can tell you no. No one makes the choice but you. Search around. Submit your work at fairs and galleries and to magazines for teens and young adults. Even if you get refused - even if you make little to no money - you are doing what you love. And I don't mean to sound like a Sappy-Sally here, but it will eventually work out.

That's great that your sister is interested in a job that involves writing a story, poem, and creating artwork for a magazine. There are a few options she can explore to find opportunities like this specifically for teens and young adults. Here's how she can go about it:

1. Research Teen and Young Adult Magazines: Encourage your sister to look for magazines that cater to teens and young adults. There are several publications, both online and in print, that focus specifically on this age group. Some popular examples include Teen Ink, Rookie Mag, and Cicada Magazine, among others.

2. Visit Magazine Websites: Once your sister has identified the magazines she's interested in, she can visit their websites. Many magazines provide guidelines for submissions, including themes, word counts, and artwork requirements. Make sure she thoroughly reads and understands these guidelines.

3. Submit Work: Your sister can start working on writing a story, poem, or creating artwork based on the magazine's guidelines. It's essential to pay attention to the style and tone of the magazine to ensure her work aligns with their target audience. Once she's ready, she can submit her work according to the submission guidelines provided by the magazine.

4. Explore Freelancing Platforms: Another avenue for finding opportunities is to explore freelancing platforms that connect writers and artists with potential clients. Websites such as Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer have categories specifically for creative writing and artwork. Your sister can create a profile, showcase her skills, and start applying for relevant gigs. These platforms provide an opportunity to connect with clients who may be looking for content for magazines or other publications.

5. Network: Networking plays a vital role in finding job opportunities. Your sister can reach out to friends, family, teachers, and other creative individuals she knows who may have connections in the publishing industry. Attend local writing or art events, join online communities, and engage with other aspiring writers and artists to expand her network.

Remember, landing a job in the creative field may take time and perseverance. Encourage your sister to keep refining her skills, creating a strong portfolio, and staying persistent in her search for opportunities.
