# Punjabi Writer Internship at CryptoMize

A Punjabi writer at CryptoMize authors original Punjabi prose — editorial, campaign copy, and features for a language whose literary spine runs from Sufi verse and the qissa storytelling tradition to the satire and social writing its audiences love — for readers across Delhi, the Punjab belt, and diaspora circles inside the 18-country footprint. Composition, not conversion: the writer drafts in Punjabi from the first word.

Apply now for the Punjabi Writer Internship in Delhi at CryptoMize — a six-month certified, rolling-intake program for writers with native-range Punjabi who want to author professional publication copy in a language that rewards voice above everything. Interns draft from Month 1: editorial features, campaign pieces, and community coverage written directly in Gurmukhi from strategist briefs, every draft line-edited by a senior editor. You will study the registers Punjabi readers love — the qissa tradition's narrative pull, satire's exact aim — and learn to deploy them on deadline. Freshers are the exact audience for this track; eligibility and selection follow in full.

## Questions and answers

### What does a Punjabi Writer intern do at CryptoMize?

You author original Punjabi publication copy — features, campaign pieces, community coverage — drafted in Gurmukhi from strategist briefs, with a senior editor line-marking every draft.

### What is the eligibility for the Punjabi Writer Internship?

Native-range written Punjabi in Gurmukhi, English solid enough for briefs, and a sample that survives rereading. Freshers apply — the live drafting exercise decides, not credentials.

### Is this a translation or conversion internship?

No — this bench composes original Punjabi. Translation and script conversion sit with the translator track next door; writers here train authorship, voice, and register.

### Are there Punjabi language jobs for freshers after the program?

Yes — the Punjabi editorial bench hires from its intern cohort first. Six months, certification, a published clip file, and conversion conversations for the strongest.

### What is the selection process?

An application with two Punjabi writing samples, a live drafting exercise on a strategist-style brief, and an edit-table interview with the senior editor. Usually two weeks.

### Is the internship paid?

Compensation is discussed during screening, set against demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. Figures are never published.

### How long is the program, and is a certificate provided?

Six months at our New Delhi HQ, certificate on completion — plus the clip file of published, reviewed Punjabi work, which is what the bench actually hires on.

### Does the desk write for diaspora audiences?

Yes — Britain and Canada's Punjabi readerships are standing audiences, and writing for readers a continent away who still live inside the language is part of the training.
