Editing and Publishing.

Catalog description

You’ll learn about the publishing world, in print and online – and what role you could have within it, either as a writer or in one of many engaging support roles. We’ll cover fiction and nonfiction creative writing, as well as journalism, marketing, literary magazines, free-lancing, self-publishing, traditional book publication, and more. Guest speakers from these fields will join us throughout the semester. You’ll fine-tune your skills with copy editing – plus big-picture editing known as content/process editing. You’ll produce a semester-long publishing project of your choice. It could be writing for The Pacifican, producing Calliope, editing your own fiction or memoir, supporting a published author with editing/ marketing, or working for a local press or on-line publication . Options are open.
