Description: Editing and Publishing provides a culminating experience for an English major with an emphasis in Creative Writing: you will apply what you've learned in other courses to run a literary magazine. The Tunnels (www.thetunnelsmagazine.com) publishes fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and academic nonfiction written by NAU students and recent graduates. In your workshop and literature courses you have learned how to analyze writing; in this course you will synthesize and apply those reading skills to decide which student work to publish in the magazine, and then work with authors to revise and edit their work. This course mimics how literary magazines across the nation are run -- in addition to selecting what to publish, you will also promote the magazine, plan events, copyedit, write blogs, and engage with the community of NAU, and beyond. This class is more like a job than a typical course, and applying classroom skills to a real-life product will prepare you for entry-level jobs in the editing and publishing field, and a productive future as an editor and as a writer. This course is required for students emphasizing in Creative Writing, but other majors and emphases would benefit from this course in similar ways. Letter grade only. May be repeated for up to 6 units of credit.
