Creative Writing Internships Abroad | GoAbroad.com

This is where you have to get creative (pardon the irony). Creative writing is as much an art form as music, painting, and sculpting, which are all fields that are extremely challenging to find professional success in. While your ultimate aspirations may lie in poetry, playwriting, or penning the next great novel, it is highly unlikely you will find a creative writing internship abroad directly akin to any of these pursuits.

More commonly you will find creative writing internships abroad in various journalistic forms. Blogging, travel writing, and reporting are all fields where it is very much possible to intern abroad in creative writing. Many publications and websites around the world, whether startups or well-established, are in continuous need of content creation to meet the tremendous informational demands of our modern digital-global age. This is where most of the professional opportunity in the field of creative writing lies.

It may not be the highest form of art, but remember you are just getting started in your career, and creative writers almost always rely on additional sources of income to sustain their craft. If your creative interests lay in screenwriting, there are film companies around the world which commonly hire interns as script readers or office assistants. These positions may not directly involve your own creative writing, but can give you invaluable exposure and experience in the entertainment industry nonetheless.
