If you want hands-on experience in the publishing biz and credit hours toward your degree, check this course: New
Letters Magazine Publication Practicum
(English 449).
This course provides practical,
real-work
experience and instruction with New Letters magazine, BkMk Press
(book publishing), and to some
degree with New Letters on the
Air (radio series) in
publications management, copy editing, manuscript
evaluation, grant development, writing and market research,
creative writing and other skills.
Enrollment caps at three students
per semester. New Letters is UMKC's
international quarterly of writing
and art, winner of a 2008 National
Magazine Award. |

"I chose to attend graduate school at UMKC
solely because I wanted to intern with
New Letters and
BkMk Press."

graduate student, 2004 - 2005

Time
Commitment:
A three-hour course carries a time commitment of 90
hours per semester, roughly six hours of work each week,
in the schedule you design between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
weekdays. Most but not all of those hours will be
in-office. One or two credit-hour students work
proportionally fewer hours.
How to
Enroll:
Contact Robert Stewart,
StewartR@umkc.edu, for consent to enroll, and
include your student ID number.
* Note to prospective English 449A, section
0001, students:
* We give consent for English 449A section 0001
(Publication Practicum) to any student who qualifies
and requests consent; however, only the first three
students who actually register for each semester will
get into the internship. Consent, by itself, does not
guarantee the student a place in this
course/internship. Make sure you enroll into Eng.
449A, section 0001. |
Come
by University House anytime, weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
if you want, to discuss the Publication Practicum,
