“Students in the Writing, Editing and Publishing program are those seeking the tools to introduce their writing to a wider world in ways that affect meaningful change. Change for some might mean a writing degree that earns them a promotion at work, while for others it might mean sharing a life story in the form of a memoir or publishing that long-suppressed novel too long in the drawer.
"The Writing, Editing and Publishing program offers dedicated instruction in aspects of professional growth that's often taken for granted, such as finding markets, selling and pitching work to editors and agents, editing for particular audiences, and learning how to translate the personally meaningful story in each of us into a variety of market-ready genres and forms.
"This program is for teachers, technical and professional writers, editors, aspiring novelists, working journalists and freelancers, bloggers, devoted memoirists—in short, anyone for whom writing is an integral part of his or her life stands to benefit from this one-of-a-kind program.”
