To Whom This May Concern,

I am eager to obtain a position as a Wired Magazine Editorial Fellow. I will briefly introduce myself and urge you to consider me for this position.

I am a recent graduate from the Ohio State School of Communication with a minor in creative writing. I have worked with multiple media and communication platforms – print, online (including social media), professional writing and event planning, and collaborative communication. I have a strong desire to utilize my skills as a writer and a curious, progressive thinker.

This is why my goal is to be a part of Wired Magazine as an Editorial Fellow. It is terribly cohesive to my interests as well as my abilities. First, the Editorial Fellowship would be great experience in a modern, important magazine that I well understand. I have always been a follower of media, pop-culture, and technology. Further, the skills required – strong, modern communication skills, are very comfortable for me and exciting. My journalism experience, instinct for the niche that Wired covers, and young mind will all help me succeed in this fellowship.

Much of my passion is natural in my outgoing and curious personality. I would be proud to be a part of the Wired Magazine team. With that said, I am an exceptional match to what this position would require, thus I have no doubts that you would make the right decision to hire me.

I would love to discuss this position, and I thank you for your consideration.  

Sincerely,

Wesley Ryan Grace
