Editing Fiction for the CSUB Journal Calliope ((3))

Catalog description

This course, which is offered once per year, will provide a combination of theoretical background and practical, hands- on experience in the field of non-fiction and book review editing and publishing. Students will work together to product Calliope, the undergraduate and graduate non-fiction and book review journal of California State University, Bakersfield, which was founded in 1982. Duties involved in the running of the journal include soliciting and evaluating submissions, editing, proofreading, marketing, publicity, research, budget proposals, web design, public relations, and more. NOTE: While this is a one-semester course, certain staff positions at Calliope can be a full-year commitment. When you are deciding how you want to be involved in the journal, please keep this in mind.
