This master class will introduce students to the theory and the practice of editing a long-form magazine piece. Each class will focus on the structure of a different genre of magazine writing: the reported piece, the profile, and the review-essay. It will also cover important (and often controversial) topics in magazine writing, ranging from the practicalities of line editing to the idea of a "house style," the difference between writing for the web and writing for print, and navigating relationships with writers. "Magazine Editing" will be taught by Leo Carey, Senior Editor at The New Yorker. Master classes meet three times per term in the evening at the Shapiro Center. |
