Is it okay to apply for internships as a recent graduate?

I recently graduated in May with a B.A. in English, but the job search is feeling very difficult because there doesn't seem to be many openings for the positions I want to do (grant writing or editorial/publishing). There seem to be more internship (paid) listings, some of which are open to recent grads, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to apply for these internships so that I can at least hopefully earn more experience in the meantime? Or is it better to focus on trying to find a full time job? Thank you.
