Editing and Publishing in English

About this programme

The course aims to help students develop their practical knowledge in the field of editing and publishing in English. The course focuses on both theory and practical skills necessary for work in international publishing industries. The course develops a discourse on the evaluation and selection of texts for a publication through the process of blind review. The students have an opportunity to develop their criteria for the selection of texts and participate in the editing process with a skilled editor and potentially even the authors of the selected texts. The course further aims to offer knowledge on the production of a journal (layout, cover, printing), with possible involvement in marketing and a collaboration with external partners. Registration is mandatory and will be open in Ladok for admitted students between 5 and 16 August. You need to register on time to confirm and keep your place. More detailed course information will be available to registered students on the learning platform Canvas. The teaching comprises seminars.
