This course offers a broad view of editing as a profession and focuses in particular on editors as communication project managers. Through readings and case studies, we’ll consider theory and practice of project management, the position of communication groups within organizations, and the responsibilities of group managers/editors within and outside the groups they manage. Participants will also learn about the roles of editors in various contexts including work groups, organizations, small presses, and publishing houses. Course participants who work as editors or writers in organizations will gain additional insight into managing communication projects; those interested in pursuing careers in editing (or writing) will gain a better understanding of what editors do.
