Seminar in Publishing: The Industry

1 Unit · Graduate

Students develop research projects based on experience gained in an internship at a literary publication. Students choose from commercial and nonprofit presses; past students have worked at the literary magazine Other Voices and the international online magazine Words without Borders. Main projects are normally a substantial (20 pages or more) research paper on a well-defined scholarly topic, but other types of projects are possible, based on department approval. The instructor supervises the student's academic work. The supervisor at the place of internship submits an evaluation to the instructor.
