# Manipuri Writer Internship at CryptoMize A Manipuri writer at CryptoMize drafts original Meiteilon content — campaign narratives, community-facing editorial, scripts — and makes the script decision part of the writing: Meitei Mayek for audiences who read the revived script, Bengali characters where the readership still lives. The prose must sound composed in Meiteilon, not translated into it, to valley readers who know the difference instantly. Come write Meiteilon professionally — the Manipuri Writer Internship at CryptoMize in Delhi is six certified months training freshers on live engagements. You will draft campaign and community-facing material from the early weeks, develop a voice under an editor’s markup, and learn the script-choice judgment that defines Manipuri publishing today. Mayek is where Manipuri publishing is going; Bengali characters are where its readers still are — you will learn to serve both without disappointing either. The desk’s standing joke is that Manipuri publishing runs on script arguments and tea — you will supply both. The program also runs a community-review habit rare in internships: selected drafts go to valley readers before publication, and their reactions return to your desk as markup of a different, humbler kind. The arc, eligibility, skills, and selection round are set out below. Applications stay open all year at the New Delhi headquarters in Vasant Vihar. ## Facts - Location: New Delhi (HQ), CDR Building, Chhatarpur - Type: 6-month internship, certification provided - Availability: immediate, rolling intake (always hiring) - Compensation: discussed at screening ## What you will actually do - Draft community-facing Meiteilon material from week two — editorials, campaign copy, and notices in the script the audience reads — editorials, campaign copy, and notices that circulate valley-wide - Learn the script-decision memo: Mayek or Bengali characters, argued from readership and recorded for the desk — argued from readership, recorded for the desk - Honorific-protocol drills for statements and correspondence, marked by a community-aware editor — community ears catch a wrong suffix at first sound - Cover a beat with the valley’s press rhythm — sources checked, quotes verified, context held — quotes held to source, context held to fact - Take margin notes in both scripts as your editor writes them — markup language is a teaching language here - Study folk-reference handling: when oral material enlivens a feature and when it curates one — heritage enlivens; curation embalms - Close with a two-script portfolio defended script choice by script choice — script choice defended first, prose second ## Skills - Native Meiteilon prose in both scripts - Script-choice judgment per audience - Oral-rhythm pacing carried into print - Editorial self-revision habits - Research and verification discipline - Headless CMS workflow for Meiteilon pages - Genre range across persuasive and editorial - Manipuri press and community literacy - Markup receptiveness - Live-cadence deadline reliability - Search awareness for Meiteilon queries - Confidentiality with campaign drafts ## Tools - Headless CMS with versioning - Search Console dashboards for Meiteilon pages - House style guide including script conventions - Dual-script Manipur press corpora for research ## Questions and answers ### What will I write as a Manipuri Writer intern? Original Meiteilon material on live engagements — campaign narratives, community editorial, scripts — drafted to brief and hardened through markup cycles until it publishes. ### Do I need to write in Meitei Mayek to apply? You need working command of both scripts and a defensible sense of when each fits; the desk sharpens the judgment, but you arrive able to write in either. ### Is this open to freshers looking for manipuri jobs? Built for them — six months of published work, a certificate, and first consideration for the firm’s permanent writer openings. ### What does the writing exercise involve? A drafted piece on a realistic brief plus an editorial conversation about work you admire and what you would fix in it now. ### How often will my work be reviewed? Weekly markup at minimum, frequently more — revision is the training method here, not a tax on it. ### Does the internship carry pay? Compensation is determined individually at screening on proven craft, engagement classification, urgency, and record; figures are not published. ### What comes at the end of six months? Certificate, a defended cross-genre portfolio, and conversion preference for full-time seats as the desk grows. ### Does the manipuri writer desk publish outside the valley? Community-facing features from the desk travel to diaspora readers through the firm’s channels, and byline credit on those pieces belongs to the writer.
