[North Carolina Literary Review @NCLitReview]

Another one of our semester interns!

"My name is Thomas Adcock, I'm a senior at ECU pursuing a degree in English and a minor in classical studies. I like reading, listening to Greek mythology podcasts, and watching horror movies in my free time."

[North Carolina Literary Review @NCLitReview]

"What I hope to get from this internship is to learn the skills I need to become an editor and make connections with like-minded people to carry with me once I graduate. In gaining the necessary experience, I can then apply what I learn to my future career."
