One of the most emphatic tips I give aspiring editors is to get an internship. It's the best way to get experience on your resume before you graduate from college (or a way to get your feet wet if you are thinking of switching careers). I just ran across this post for a great internship in Indy. Also check www.wiley.com; they have postings for several different internships. Act fast, though--time's a'wastin'!
