An aspiring writer, who happens to be homeless, responded to an ad looking for writers/fashionistas for an advice columnist competition, prize for which was an internship at Elle magazine.
She was invited to audition but a case of nerves caused her to bomb miserably. Instead of giving up, she wrote into Elle magazine’s advice columnist directly for advice on her situation.
Her letter was published in Elle magazine and the advice columnist was so taken by her spirit that she was offered a four month internship.
