thoughts and actions...
...our brilliant summer interns!

This past summer, four outstanding college interns — Jia-ling Loo, Margaret Gormley, Vanessa Kitchen and Stacy Kanter — joined our staff to assist us with our many client thoughtleader projects. In addition to pitching article ideas, researching book publishers and conducting a customer survey, each also penned an article on a thought leadership topic.

Today, we’ll highlight one of them: “ It's About the AIL: To Get Articles Published, Start with an Article Ideas List” by Vanessa. The others will follow in future thoughtnotes. To read it, scroll to the bottom of our articles page, to the “publishing” section: http://www.thoughtleading.com/articles_home.htm#pub
