Course Description: Manuscript Preparation for Writers

Manuscript Preparation for Writers

55-4404J

In this class students will learn how to prepare manuscripts for submission and publication. Students will learn to give close attention to issues regarding the relationship between story content and the important role of style, punctuation, usage, and the many ways in which the visual appearance and impact of a manuscript's features (chapters, sections, breaks, etc.) affect not only the way in which the work is received by readers, editors, and publishers, but how layout/setup affects the manipulation of time, movement, and dramatic impact.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
