The NYU Summer Publishing Institute is a four-week introduction to Big Five publishing for students looking to make the move to New York City publishing. You would spend those four weeks living in the NYU dorms and meeting people at Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Hachette, Macmillan, and HarperCollins, and taking classes related to the business of editing and publishing. Grad students who attend this program can earn 4.5 credits they can transfer toward their MFA or MAWP degree. The program begins on June 1, so there are some logistical issues to work out with the last week of courses at DePaul if you’re registered for in-person classes. If interested, contact Prof. Johns-Trissler for how to handle the schedule.
Applications will be due soon, so don’t wait. There is an information session on Tuesday, March 3rd at 5 pm Central time. Visit https://www.sps.nyu.edu/certificates/summer-publishing-institute.html for more information.
