How to Make a Book

My name is Lucia Mancaruso and I’m an Advertising major in the Art Direction track. Starting the second half of my junior year with my first internship was certainly anxiety-inducing, since I had no idea what to expect. I knew that I would be interning at a tiny studio in center city called Moonstone Arts Center, with a huge poet enthusiast named Larry Robin.

A couple stood out to me, and a couple didn't even include the work I'd want to be doing there, or in the future. I first applied for a position as a copywriting intern at a marketing agency in Brynn Mawr, PA. The internship would be completely remote, to take place in Spring 2022.
