You’ve written three posts this semester. Throughout this experience, I have encouraged you to make hypotheses (or uncover facts) about how things were published in the past and make grand plans for how things might be published in the future. As we conclude the semester, I want to give you an opportunity to expand on the discoveries you made through the first three assignments.
Part 1: Prepare Your Posts for Publication
Since the start of the semester, our course website has been set to private, meaning that only the students enrolled in the course can see the site. You have chosen between publishing your work (making it visible to your classmates) or keeping it private (so only I can see it). At the end of the semester, I will make our entire website public and you can choose to have your posts included in that public site (visible to anyone who finds our website) or set to private (still only visible to me). You also have the option of setting a password for any posts that you want to be able to share with family and friends only.
Part 2: Prepare a Description of Your Publication Project
Our final exam period will be transformed into a meeting with the head of The University of New Haven Press, who is eager to learn about new publication projects and perhaps new imprints that might help us grow the press. Each of your projects will be different, so I’ll be working with each of you to find the best way to describe your project so you can get feedback from the head of our university press.
