Publishing Project

Work with your respective teams to prepare the literary magazine.

Authors should rewrite and correct their mistakes. After revising, please send your CORRECTED COPY to Ja'Miah (senior editor), Kordae (junior editor), Jezhiah (chief editor), and me (bradley.craddock@rcsdk12.org) = 4 people. 

• Acquisitions editor (Asia) should check with Ja'Miah & Kordae to make sure that all submissions were returned (or the file shared). 
• Ja'Miah/Kordae & Jesziah should look over the drafts and make sure they are grammatically correct (or that it all looks good). They can change or correct any mistake.
• Editors can get help from the Proof-reading team: Joshua, Akhiyar, Kemani, Britney, Isobel, Victoria, Jenna, Pahz, & Karina.
• If you have questions about a grammar rule, ask your editors!
• Grammar Help (The Chicago Manual of Style)
• More Grammar Help (The Purdue OWL)
• And more grammar help (The Grammar Blue Book)
• The publishing editors (Ja'Miah & Kordae) will copy/paste all entries into one master file and share the file with Turon (Lead Graphic Designer/Chief Layout Designer)
• Javant & Raeona (with Turon's help) will design the back cover copy, the cover, and the copyright page.
• Design the cover. It should have a title and relevant information about the book, etc.; it should be eye-catching.
• Design the back cover copy: this should include pictures perhaps, AND a short blurb about what is special about the collection. Why should a reader buy the magazine? Finally, it should have the publishing logo and ISBN# in the bottom corner of the book.
• Design the copyright page information. See the standard copyright page form samples. Choose one (or copy and paste to create your own copyright page...)
• Collect (black and white) some images/photos or graphics you would like to include in the edition. Note: that these may or may not be included in the final copy.
• Turon will create a title page for the magazine and decide on a FONT style (& size) for the layout.
• Graphic/Layout team will start a table of contents for the magazine. Decide whose work comes first and then whose work follow whose.

If you have questions about layout/design, how to format something, etc. check with your editors!

If you've run out of things to do, please help other students complete the work. You may work on your other classes or the homework, but please do not distract others from their work!
