LITERARY PUBLISHING DESIGN, PRODUCTION, AND EDITING

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to see this year’s edition of Spectrum, the literary magazine produced each year by the College of Creative Studies Writing & Literature major, to press. This means copyediting the work that has been selected for publication, deciding on a layout and design for the magazine, and sending the proofs off to the printer.
Of course, along the way, students will learn vital skills for work in editing and publishing. Students will learn how to copyedit, how to design documents using the industry-standard software, InDesign, and how to work with an editorial team to create a publication.
