Description

This Problems of Practice (PoP) course will introduce students to working at an online literary journal. Beginning assignments will including sending out calls for submission, reading and voting on subs. Later assignments will explore the process of editing works accepted for publication, preparing the next issue for launch, and working on special-edition issues. This course will include weekly outside reading assignments based on submissions the journal receives, and you should plan to read frequently and copiously. Classes will be taught in seminar fashion and will include a combination of short lectures, class discussion, and workshops where you will discuss submissions for potential publication. By the end of the course, you will have played a significant role in the publication of the next issue and written a final reflection on your experience. This course counts towards the Creative Writing minor. Formerly ENG 215. Students who have already passed ENG 215 cannot receive credit for CRW 215 and should not take this course.
