Description:

PROFESSIONAL EDITING (MEDIATED TRACK)~ This course is designed to teach students to be professional copyeditors-as well as to explore other editorial positions in a publishing house. In order to make the experience of editing real, there will always be a project associated with this class: often a collection (essays, stories, poems, commemorate pieces) of student work. The first time this course was run (2006), a collection of twenty-nine essays written about Hiram, Ohio, over the past ten years, Hiram, U.S.A., was shepherded toward production by a group of fifteen students. Students will learn not only how to line edit, but also how to assemble a book-making important aesthetic decisions about use of photographs, front and back matter, cover design, lay-out, etc. The vocabulary, technique, and art of publishing and editing will all be addressed and employed. Also listed as Writing 320. Prerequisite: Writing 221 or permission.
