| Certificates: Writing |
This is the capstone course for the Writing Certificate Program. This new version of the course offers you an opportunity to develop your writing, work closely with other Certificate seniors, and receive advice from professionals about editing and compiling work for publication. Details about new elements of the course will be offered in the fall.
Digital media are transforming the nature of books and magazines. In this class, we'll talk about how writers, editors, and publishers might think about the new landscapes of reading and writing. How can writers use digital media to create new forms? What's the value of materiality? How do social media affect or define what writers do? Guest speakers from the world of writing and publishing will talk about their experiences with new and old media. |
