Literary Publishing

Course Description

Summer Session B

Come join the editorial team for the inaugural summer edition of Spectrum, a national literary magazine that has been in publication for over 60 years. By enrolling in the course, you join the staff of a literary magazine that has featured the work of writers and artists from all over the world. However, this summer’s special edition will be the first to focus exclusively on student writing and art. In this course you will learn the ins-and-outs of literary publishing, develop editorial skills, copyedit material, work closely with contributors, design the layout and overall aesthetic of the journal, and ultimately promote the artistic productions of many talented UCSB students. No former publishing experience necessary, and all majors welcome. Anyone who is interested in writing and publishing will benefit from this dynamic and fast-paced course.
