ENSP 5910 Literary Editing & Desktop Publishing

1830-2100 T - BRYAN 203

Instructor: Jeb Livingood

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the process of editing a literary journal--everything from screening manuscripts to reviewing books to graphic design--as you assist in the production of Meridian, a nationally-distributed literary magazine. Students give a class presentation, write a book review, create a magazine design project using Quark's desktop publishing software, and then publish the project using print-on-demand.

To apply for the class, write a letter of introduction to Jeb Livingood giving your name, year, phone number, e-mail, and experience with literature (especially creative writing courses and editing or magazine experience). Attach a sample of your writing (3-5 pages of poetry or 6-12 of prose). Please place a print copy of this work Mr. Livingood's faculty mailbox in Bryan 229 or send via e-mail to jsl9z@virginia.edu. Preference will be given to MFA students, but there will be spaces reserved for other graduate students and upper-level undergraduates.
