This course will immerse students in the world of literary culture and its many branches: writing, editing, reviewing, and publicity. Students will practice creative writing as a playful, yet rigorous discipline, and learn how writers find publishers for their work and reach audiences through readings, social media, book publicity, interviews, and reviews. Various industry professionals will speak to the class about trends in literary publishing and their own experiences bringing books and journals into the world. Students will apply their knowledge and interests to a variety of projects, including book reviews, literary events, and creative writing workshops. 06 Jan 2020 8:16 AM Amy Yeager, CAS DEAN's Office.
