Literary Magazine Production

This course will cover the entire process of producing an art and literary magazine in print and digital format, from reviewing initial submissions to delivering a finished product. Students will be asked to: write marketing copy to solicit materials, assess and edit submissions, curate visual images, communicate professionally with authors, submit and revise their own submissions, design the layout and style of the magazine, and choose cover art. In completing these steps toward the creation of an issue of Dovetail, students will learn the practical ins and outs of literary publishing, from both sides of the process.
