PRWR 6260/01: Managing Writing in Organizations

A foundational course introducing students to organizational writing and the planning that informs it. Students will learn to think creatively and systematically about the writing needs of businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. They will analyze the missions, constituencies, structures, and cultures of existing organizations to identify the most appropriate rhetorical strategies and products for organizations in their real-world contexts. Next, students will draft a plan for an organization, which may include a mission statement, key messages, organizational branding, a list of essential (print, electronic, audio, and video) documents, a yearly calendar of events and document releases, a budget and production plan, and a distribution plan for key documents. In addition, students will study how professional writers face situations that require ethical analysis and action to guard an organization’s mission and reputation. The course will also inform students about careers available to organizational writers and the technologies they use in performing their work.

PRWR 6300/01 Understanding Writing as a Process

PRWR 6300 provides an introduction to the field of composition studies. In this course, we will examine writing research, theory, and pedagogy, focusing particular attention on questions integral to understanding writing as a process. This course investigates issues relevant to writing instruction today and explores how theories of writing inform teaching practices. Students study approaches to teaching and assessing writing and produce curricular design for college writing classes.

PRWR 6440: Professional and Academic Editing

The study and practice of professional and academic (trade, professional, educational, and scholarly) editing for magazines, journals, books, and textbooks. Editorial divisions of labor and approaches and responsibilities of editors, along with the introduction to text development, acquisition, and line editing.

In this iteration of Professional and Academic Editing, our focus will be “Editing and Publishing Multimodal Documents.” Editing has always been a multimodal practice. Editors need to pay attention not only to well-crafted text that meets stylistic expectations, but also to dimensions beyond text such as visual design, spatial layout, and reader interaction. Furthermore, the way we design, produce, revise, distribute, and consume documents increasingly situates text amidst a range of other media channels, including image, audio, video, and interactive elements. These documents open up new opportunities and challenges for editing and publishing in academic and professional contexts.

Throughout the course, we’ll practice developing and editing multimodal documents (such as children’s books, journals, online media content, and websites), supported by critical reflection and systematic documentation. We’ll consider how multimodal documents communicate ideas, and how that influences editorial feedback from conceptual development to line and copyediting. We’ll explore tools for editing multimodal documents, managing files, and facilitating collaborative workflows. We’ll investigate editors’ responsibilities for ensuring multimodal documents are accessible, including WCAG and FCC accessibility standards. Finally, we’ll research multimodal editing in both industry and academic contexts, and consider what our findings mean for our own professional development as editors.

PRWW 6455/01 Introduction to the Creative Writing Genres

“Genres” is designed for MAPW students who have no background in creative writing in order to prepare you for creative writing workshops in the specific genres. If you feel you are prepared for the more advanced courses, please consult with the instructor as soon as possible, but before the end of the Add-drop period. Previous preparation might include recent study at the undergraduate level, study at community workshops or intensive auto-didacticism.

The course will survey three of several genres that comprise the field of Creative Writing: poetry, playwriting, and prose fiction. The student will be introduced to the fundamentals of these genres, to creativity theory and to workshop pedagogy in preparation for more concentrated study in a particular genre, or for future personal edification. The student should gain an appreciation for the practice of creative writing, especially from exercises designed to develop the use of imagination; knowledge of basic terms and techniques employed in various creative writing genres; and, a knowledge of workshop procedure. Further students will practice close reading of canonical and original work, and will be introduced to basic procedures and expectations in the field. Please read below for further expectations. The graduate version of this course is cross-listed with its undergraduate comparable, however, different expectations are in place for graduate level work.
