Maria Neves from the 6M January course wrote to say: "After the course I started to work as a correspondent in London. I've covered big events in the city and had my features published in the magazines of Editora Abril, which is a major Brazilian publisher and printing company and one of the biggest media holdings in Latin America."
She has also had an article on shoes published in the Brazilian edition of Glamour magazine, publishes two blogs and is studying for an MA in international politics.
"Taking the course at LSJ was the best decision I have ever made in my life," she wrote. "Of course, things have been difficult in terms of money but I am sure the results will come. The best thing I took from the course was 'to think like a journalist every single day'. " She is currently negotiating with a publisher over a partnership venture relating to one of her blogs.
Meanwhile Tom Norton, another 6M student (pictured above) was appointed editor of Sound and Stage magazine for ITP Publishing in Dubai. The B2B title is centred around the events and production industry in the Middle East.
He said: "I genuinely thought of giving up a hundred times and grew to loathe people who just told be to 'stick at it' and something would turn up. Well, as it turns out, sometimes it does - and often in ways you can never really imagine.
"For those happy to relocate, I fully recommend looking into the Middle East. The ex-pat community is huge and publishing there is still a burgeoning and exciting industry."
New magazine launches are frequent, which adds to the range of job opportunities available. ITP alone has 79 titles under its publishing umbrella, including Esquire, Time Out, Grazia and OK.
He said: "It's a little out of my wheelhouse given my past publishing experience but if the LSJ has taught be anything, it's the importance of expanding your writing experience whenever and wherever possible." In 2014 he moved on to become online editor with Esquire Middle East, based in the same building. The following year he became features editor for ShortList Dubai and in 2016 he became digital editor for Conde Nast Traveller Middle East.
From the same course, Rachelle Harry wrote to say that after completing internships at Health and Fitness, Men's Fitness and Men's Health magazines, she was offered her first paid sub-editing shift for Men's Health and a trial as a junior writer for Health and Fitness. Maria Marinageli from the same course wrote in 2014 to say she had been offered a job working for a local paper in her home town of Ancona, Italy, while Eleanor Wilson from the 6M September course started an internship in 2014 with Journeys magazine.
Diana McCormick from the 6MS course had freelance articles on interiors and travel published in the Daily Mail in 2014.
Rosanna Spence was one of four students from the 3M autumn course to launch a blogging/review website, yesboy.com, in February 2014, and she was also hired as features writer/editor for Casual Dining magazine. From the same course, Carolina Pain gained work filming video interviews for MSN Brazil. She later teamed up with a well-known Brazilian broadcast journalist to write about sustainability, healthy living and women's issues.
