PUB8001 Publishing and Production Management Project (FOART)

Units 1.0 (Communication & Media Studies) Band 1

Pre-requisite: PUB5005 or JRN5022

Synopsis

This is the final course in the Graduate Diploma of Editing and Publishing program. It is the culmination of previous courses in which students gained knowledge and skills in publishing tasks from the editor's perspective involving manuscript assessment, structural and copy-editing (including online editing), application of house styles, marking up specific types of copy, and proofreading. This course aims to provide an opportunity for the student to synthesize all these elements together by working on a fiction or non-fiction manuscript in order to demonstrate that he or she has acquired the necessary competencies to manage a book through the acquisition, editiorial, design, production and marketing phases. Students can use a manuscript of their choice for the project subject to its approval by the course facilitator.
