From Text to World: Editing and Publishing

Catalog description

In this course students will learn the fundamentals of editing while working together to produce a publication (anthology or journal/magazine issue) that showcases the talents of DKU's student writers. Students will learn how to give more effective feedback, edit for style and content, and consider texts from a potential reader's perspective, while following the journey of a written text from the writer's conception to the editors' curation and finally into print. Each student will undertake an independent writing project upon which they will practice the editing and revision skills we learn in this class. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor in advance to learn about the publication's theme for a given session and to discuss their potential independent project. 001868
