Editing Internships

I have been looking at editing internships and am amazed at the different variety of internships and jobs that are available to people who edit. I have seen everything from editing instructional pamphlets to internet sites to newspapers, magazines, and novels. Fiction editing is a competitive market, largely because people have visions of becoming the first person to ever read the next bestseller. As of now, I have applied to a few editing internships, one of which had funding cut for the program (needless to say, no one was hired for the position) and a couple that I applied for just after they hired someone. My job search has been a frustrating one, but hopefully it will turn out well.
