English 476 is a course in editing and publishing, with a focus on Canadian literature and language. The course will introduce students to the study and practice of scholarly publishing: students will explore the history of literary journal publication in Canada; they will gain hands-on experience editing academic articles for a refereed journal; they will have the opportunity to write critical reviews for publication; and they will explore questions of page design layout, and printing. As a "student editor" for UCC's scholarly journal "Textual Studies in Canada", each student will contribute to the editing of a refereed article, taking it through the process of manuscript review, manuscript editing, copyediting, layout and publication.
Prerequisite: Fourth-year standing; successful completion of at least 6 credits of third-year literature or composition.
