SIX WEEKs
CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

uring the Summer Publishing Institute (SPI), students are immersed in book, magazine, and digital publishing in the media capital of the worldNew York City. Now in its 36th year, this intensive program, offered by the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) Center for Publishing, is developed, designed, and taught by faculty members who are top professionals in the industry. They include CEOs, publishers, editors, online editors, literary agents, designers, marketers, and publicists who bring their expertise from their working environments directly into our classrooms. In addition, through visits to major magazine media companies, publishing houses, and bookstores, SPI students experience publishing rsthand. NYU-SCPS offers four pathways to professional publishing education: the Summer Publishing Institute, the Master of Science in Publishing: Digital and Print Media, executive education programming on campus and abroad, and noncreditcourses and certicates. (If you are interested in pursuing the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media after completing the Summer Publishing Institute, please see page14 and 15for more details.)

THE PROGRAm
The Summer Publishing Institute provides you with the opportunity to study both publishing fundamentals and the latest digital applications and strategies. The six-week intensive program offers a thorough introduction to magazine and book publishing. Students attend lectures and presentations delivered by leading executives that explore key industry issues. They also participate in workshops and hands-on strategy sessions. Our computer workshops cover the latest publishing technologies, including Photoshop, InCopy, HTML, CSS, and InDesign. Seminars devoted to copyediting, understanding publishing contracts, search engine optimization, and writing magazine cover lines and book jacket copy provide students with practical skills. Students may apply these their rst day on the job. In addition, students receive extensive professional guidance in the form of rsum reviews, mock interviews, job-search assistance, and other crucial career resources. Networking is an integral part of the programmany SPI graduates who now work in publishing return to share their experiences with current students during panels, brown bag lunches, and other gatherings. The Summer Publishing Institute culminates in a career fair, which includes many of the top publishing companies in New York City. When students successfully complete SPI, they earn six graduate credits which may be counted toward the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media, or an advanced degree elsewhere, if deemed appropriate by the degree-granting institution. For a closer look at last years program, please visit the summer postings on our blog, nyupubposts.wordpress.com.

MAGAZINE
PUBLISHING
The rst three weeks of the SPI experience focus on magazines and their digital formats, including the latest web, tablet, and mobile platforms. Students examine the wide variety of magazines and gain an insiders view of how publishers are increasingly treating magazines as brands. They create a launch plan for a new media brand, including tablet and other digital versions, and explore online-only content and distribution models. In-depth exploration of the industry includes a thorough introduction to the many functions required to produce a magazine brand successfullyincluding editorial and design, business planning, social media marketing, advertising and circulation, and managing the integration of print and digital strategies. During this time, students also visit the offices of some of the leading media companies in New York City to learn about how they compete in this dynamic and creative environment.

BOOK
PUBLISHING
The second three weeks of SPI focus on the book industry. Students examine the tasks required to publish a successful list of titles. As e-book sales continue to grow, the program explores all aspects of both the print and the e-book publication processesfrom manuscript submission and editing, to marketing, sales, and distribution. Students learn about a variety of book categories, including adult trade, childrens books, and special-interest publications.

It is such a rewarding feeling to meet a student early on in the course, watch them grow throughout it, and then help them to get hired into your company.

Learning and practicing key entry-level skills is an important component of SPI. Through workshops, students gain hands-on experience in book and magazine editing, Web and print layout and design principles, production, digital marketing strategies, publicity tactics, budget basics, and more. During each session, students team up to launch a publishing business. In the magazine session, students are assigned a specic job (e.g. editor-in-chief, art director, marketing director, advertising sales director, or features editor), and work with their team and industry advisors (such as Josh Wolk, entertainment editor of Vulture.com, seen in the lower-right photo) to form a plan for a successful magazine brand launch. In the book session, students work together in groups to create a publishing company or an imprint with its own distinct personality. Each student performs a specic publishing function and is guided through the process by experts in the eld (such as Brenda Copeland, executive editor at St. Martins Press, who is seen teaching an editing workshop in the top photo; and Sallye Leventhal and Edward Ash-Milby, book buyers for Barnes & Noble, speaking to students in the lower-left photo). Students present their nal work to a panel of industry judges who evaluate their editorial, business, marketing, and digital strategies, and who provide valuable advice. In both sessions, students experience how publishers create a business that succeeds in print and digital formats.

CAREER GuidAncE And FAiR

Career guidance is an integral part of the Summer Publishing Institute. Panels and discussions focus on the different types of publishing companies, entry-level positions, and career paths. Rsum reviews and practical training sessions on cover-letter writing and interview strategies help to prepare students for careers in publishing. Inaddition, both alumni and human resources experts provide targeted advice on career advancement, particularly in New York City, the capital of the publishing industry. A highlight of SPI is the career fair (pictured above), which provides students with the chance to meet and to interview with representatives from book, magazine, and digital media companies. While students are not guaranteed jobs, our faculty members, career guidance services, and career fair help them to begin the process of nding jobs, exploring and pursuing leads, and seeking out networking opportunities in the industry.

For the last three years, I have had the privilege of judging the Summer Publishing Institute magazine launch projects. The creativity, collaboration, and diligence that each of the launch groups exhibited made the day very rewarding. The knowledge that they garnered from the sessions leading up to the judging prepared them to discuss all aspects of publishing including editorial, advertising, circulation, marketing, web design, and analytics. In addition, I have also taught a session on the role of a magazine publisher. The students were highly engaged, prepared with excellent questions, and showcased high levels of enthusiasm and understanding. It was very impressive how well prepared and focused the students were throughout the session. It is a highlight for me to get to meet such fantastic kids! Their energy fuels me in my own work.

As president and publisher of Grand Central Publishing, a division of the Hachette Book Group, I have been involved with NYUs Summer Publishing Institute for many years through presentations and panel discussions about our industry. Ive also judged the nal projects that are the culmination of the program. I stay involved because I believe SPI does a wonderful job of preparing young people, interested in careers in publishing, to become the new generation of industry leaders. More than that, Ive consistently found that the students who attend the program are smart, inquisitive, and knowledgeable about the ongoing changes inour industry and well positioned to enter the world of publishing.

Ive known for years that the publishing industry was where I belonged, but coming from the Midwest, I had no idea how to break into the New York publishing world. When Idiscovered NYUs Summer Publishing Institute and the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media, I knew Id found the right opportunity for me to learn more about this challenging and exciting industry and to further my career. The Summer Publishing Institute gave me an in-depth look into the wide variety of careers in publishing. It also affordedme the chance to meet some of the mostinteresting, successful people, and to make lasting professional connections. Only weeks after I nished the summer program, I secured a full-time position as an editorial assistant at Springer Science + Business Media. As a student in the M.S. in Publishing program, I am able to continue my education and to build my skill sets by taking classes during the evenings. I am excited aboutcontinuing my course of study in the M.S. in Publishing program and becoming a more appealing candidate for future employment opportunities.

I was shocked by how much information I learned in only six weeks at SPI. The speakers for both sessions were amazing; I got to meet Ray Bradburys editor, an incredible experience. One of the best aspects of the program was the panel of human resources personnel that came in and answered all of our questions about employment in the industry. I felt much more at ease during job interviews after talking with them. Getting to hear from the leaders in publishing was an amazing opportunity, and living in New York City for sixweeks is something I will neverforget.

The magazine section of the NYU Summer Publishing Institute blew me away. Every day I felt like I was actually working in the high-intensity atmosphere ofthe magazine industry. The guest speakers we listened to were an added inspirational bonus. The amazing students in both of my group projects worked seamlessly together to create magazine and book launches that I am so proud of and that I will always remember.

SPI was the ideal introduction to publishingin New York. I cant imagine a better program to prepare me to apply for jobs and to work in book publishing. I am condent that the skills I gained at NYU were a major factor in helping me to secure my new position as a subsidiary rights assistant at Penguin Young Readers. I cant recommend this program highly enough.
Amalia Frick
SPI 13 Subsidiary Rights Assistant, Penguin Young Readers Group, Penguin Random House (U.S.)

SPI absolutely changed my life. It taught me so much about the publishing industry and showed me which avenue I wanted to pursue. Hearing all of the encouragement and the advice from the speakers helped me to prepare for my interviews and ultimately to land my job at HarperCollins. Learning the ins-and-outs of book publicity during the program made me appreciate all of the hard work done behind the scenes to produce amazing books.
