It's time for another fun Q+A! This time, we hunted down Ed2010, considering it has been a fave Jossip site for years. (Of course, when they hooked our fresh from college editor up with some Graydon Carter face time, our love only grew.)

It's only fitting that we'd be brimming with questions for Chandra Czape, a Midwest native who (after asking her EIC at American Baby to lunch) landed an EA job at Good Housekeeping. The rest is history. Though Chandra is now a top editor at Cosmo Girl!, she hasn't stopped inspiring college kids with dreams of being Adam Moss' assistant to polish their resumes, pull their clip files, and search Ed for those open spots.

After the jump, get the scoop on how Chandra started the whispery site, her first Bonnie Fuller experience, affection for the word "whippersnapper," and the frightening realization that aspiring fashion editors will pay what little money they have for the chance to meet Anna Wintour.

How did Ed2010 get started? What was the real motivation behind it?

Back in 1996 I was an editorial assistant at Good Housekeeping and kept in touch with friends I met through the ASME internship program. Those who hadn't moved to NYC yet were bugging me and a friend of mine for job tips. We were pretty unconnected at the time and didn't have many leads. But what we did hear about we sent out in an email to everyone. At the time the email had about 12 people on it. About a year later or so (I think it was 1997 but who's keeping track?) we decided to get all the whippersnappers together (myself included, by then I was an assistant editor at Glamour) at the Music Box in the East Village.

After that night, my friend thought we should come up with a name for our group. She suggested Ed2010 in a tongue-in-cheek way. We'll be editors in chief by the year 2010! Isn't that funny? Ha haha. Mysteriously, the whole thing caught on and the site evolved. Now we have 6,500 or so people on our daily newsletter, 30 or so city chapters and another 30 or so campus chapters. It's kind of out of control.

Do magazine editors know about Ed2010? In your opinon, what do most of them think about it?

Well, it's for magazine editors, not just magazine editor wannabes — so I hope that they've heard of us. I'm not sure what they think. But a lot of them have been with us since the beginning. When I started Ed back in 97 a lot of my friends in magazines were junior level editors and now we're at the top of mastheads around the city. I think that a lot of them follow Ed and the mag news and events info even if the advice and the job listings are too junior for them.

What Ed2010 changes or events need to be on every insider’s radar?

We're having a huge Welcome to NYC intern party June 7th at the Boat Basin where every college kid coming to NYC for a summer internship will be hanging out. And we're even trying to figure out how we can give out a scholarship of sorts to help kids who come to NYC on unpaid internships. We don't have any money, of course, but we're going to raise it somehow.

What was your worst experience as an entry level staffer?

It was pretty shocking to be at Glamour as an assistant editor when Ruth Whitney was let go and Bonnie Fuller came in. Little did I know that was the beginning of an era. My blue haired editor at the time was fired. She only edited one page so I guess it made sense. But it was still a little scary.

Did you ever have a traumatic internship experience?

Interviewing lactation experts about breast feeding better … I interned at American Baby. (Unfortunately, I forgot all the tips, which could be useful because I'm pregnant now.)

Oh, and I walked right into Judy Nolte’s office – she was and is, the EIC there – on my first day and said, “We should go to lunch!” She looked up from her desk with a who are you? look on her face and said "sure." I was actually surprised when she never followed up.

In your experience, who are the most cooperative and willing Editors in Chief?

Those who love Ed. We have a Win A Chat With An EIC raffle whenever our funds run low (which is often) and we raffle off a meeting with an EIC. You have to be a whippersnapper to enter (no starving 30-year freelance writers allowed). We’ve been lucky enough to get some pretty important people to donate their time like Graydon Carter, David Granger, Adam Moss, Cindi Leive, Kim France … We’re still trying to get Anna Wintour. Anna, if you’re reading: Will you let us raffle you off?

What media outlets are impossible to live without? Any mag, papers, or shows you wish were never created?

Hmmm. I’m pretty conventional. I love anything Simon Dumenco and Malcom Gladwell write. Oh and answer bunny cracks me up.

And finally, what should our interns eat for breakfast if they want to reach the great heights of Chandra Turner?

Today I had a piece of leftover German chocolate cake I bought for my dad’s birthday two nights ago. I’d blame it on being pregnant, but that’d be a lie.
