About the Course:

 

This class provides a hands-on project for students interested in all aspects of literary publishing.  The Berkeley Fiction Review publishes short stories of various styles in an annual magazine, from the mainstream to the experimental, but we do not publish poetry or non-fiction.  We are working towards attaining a national reputation as a leader in publishing the best contemporary short fiction.  We will discuss the processes of story and art selection, layout, copyediting, fundraising and marketing, as well as the more general topics of the small press.  Students in the class will play an integral part in the production of the magazine and should come out of the class with an in-depth knowledge of the editorial selection process and a broader appreciation of small-press publishing. 

 

How to Enroll:

Enrollment will be processed on a first come, first served basis. Email the course facilitator directly stating the following information: Name, Email, whether you're upper or lower (98/198) division, and your Graduation year.

There are 20 lower and 20 upper division slots available. You will receive a response that informs you of whether you are enrolled or wait-listed after the initial email. CCN's will not be distributed until the first class meeting which is mandatory if you wish to stay enrolled.
