I am an avid reader of Moment magazine (I was also lucky enough to have one of my stories reach finalist status in the magazine's annual short fiction contest a couple of years ago). So naturally I was intrigued by this craiglist posting for Moment's Writing Fellows program, which "prepares talented young journalists for a career in magazine journalism, providing them the opportunity to work for a year at Moment Magazine, an independent national magazine of Jewish politics, culture and religion co-founded by Elie Wiesel and based in Washington DC." Pays: $18,000 for a one-year fellowship (plus health insurance).
