Just got off the phone with Chronicle Books
I had 21 minutes and 9 seconds (thank you, call time feature), and I did my best to impress them with my experience, and utter nerdiness, and love for their company.
Now to keep my fingers crossed and eyes towards Second Street in the hopes of an incoming callback to interview once more.

Judging a Book by Its Cover →
Interning at HarperOne has really opened my eyes in terms of book design. I can hardly imagine what it would be like to come up with a cover that everyone will agree on. What colors to use, what things to show, title font & placement…
I wonder what the artists of these covers would think of these interpretations?

Jeff: What are you up to?
Me: I'm going to buy a cookie. And then eat it. I'm stoked.
Jeff: Delicious, any luck with the job hunt?
Me: No :( The cookies are my emotional eating therapy
Jeff: Humbug. You should live under a bridge with me and scare small children.
Me: How perfect! Scaring small children is one of the the things listed on my resume! Hire me?
Jeff: Haha. It's an unpaid internship, but you'll get great work experience and networking skills.
