CENTER FOR PUBLISHING
JUNE 4–JULY 13, 2012
CAN SIX WEEKSCHANGEYOUR LIFE?
1
At the Summer Publishing Institute (SPI), students are im-mersed in book, magazine, and digital publishing in the media capital of the world—New York City. Now in its 34th
year, this intensive program offered by the NYU School of Continu-ing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) is developed, designed, and taught by a faculty of top professionals in the industry, including CEOs, publishers, editors, online editors, literary agents, designers, marketers, and publicists. These industry experts come directly from their offices to our classrooms. Through visits to major media com-panies, publishing houses, and bookstores, SPI students experience publishing firsthand.
NYU-SCPS offers three pathways to professional publishing educa-tion: the Summer Publishing Institute, the Master of Science in Pub-lishing: Digital and Print Media, and executive education program-ming on campus and abroad. (If you are interested in pursuing the M.S. in Publishing after completing the Summer Publishing Institute, please see page 12 for more details.)
THE PROGRAMAt the Summer Publishing Institute, you study both publishing basics and the latest online
applications and strategies. The six-week intensive program provides a thorough introduc-
tion to every aspect of magazine and book publishing. Students attend lectures and presen-
tations given by leading executives about key industry issues and participate in workshops
and hands-on strategy sessions. Our computer workshops cover the latest publishing tech-
nologies, including Photoshop, InCopy, and InDesign. In addition, students receive extensive
professional guidance in the form of résumé reviews, job-search assistance, and other crucial
career resources. Networking is an integral part of the program—many SPI graduates who
now work in publishing return to share their experiences with current students during panels
and informal social gatherings. The Summer Publishing Institute culminates in a career fair,
which includes many of the top publishing companies in New York City. When students
complete SPI, they receive six graduate credits which may be counted toward the M.S. in
Publishing: Digital and Print Media, or an advanced degree elsewhere, if deemed appropriate
by the degree-granting institution. For a closer look at last year’s program, please visit the
summer postings on our blog, nyupubposts.wordpress.com.

The first three weeks of the Institute focus on magazines
and their digital extensions, including exciting new Web,
e-reader, and mobile platforms. Students examine the
wide variety of magazines and see how publishers are
increasingly treating magazines as brands. They will create
a launch plan for a new media brand, including iPad and
other digital versions, and explore online-only content and
distribution models. In-depth exploration of the industry
includes a thorough introduction to the many functions re-
quired to produce a magazine brand successfully—includ-
ing editorial and design, business planning, social media
marketing, advertising and circulation, and managing the
integration of print and digital strategies. During these
three weeks, students visit the offices of some of the lead-
ing media companies in New York City to learn how they
compete in this dynamic and creative environment.

The second three weeks of SPI focus on the book industry. Students examine the tasks
required to publish a successful list of titles. As e-book sales continue to dominate some
sectors of the market, we explore all aspects of both the print and e-book production
processes—from manuscript submission and editing to marketing, sales, and distribution.
Students learn about a variety of book categories, including trade and academic books,
children’s books, and special-interest publications. Leaders from the industry address the
class, and we visit the headquarters of leading book publishing companies.

CAREER GUIDANCE AND FAIRCareer guidance is an integral part of the
Summer Publishing Institute. Panels and dis-
cussions focus on the different types of pub-
lishing companies, entry-level positions, and
career paths, and on solving the challenges
and taking advantage of the opportunities of
living and working in New York City. Résumé
reviews and practical training sessions on cov-
er-letter writing and interview strategies help
to prepare students for careers in publishing.
A highlight of SPI is the career fair (pictured
above), which provides students with the
chance to meet and to interview with book,
magazine, and digital media companies. While
students are not guaranteed jobs, our faculty members, career guidance, and career fair
help them to begin the process of finding openings, job leads, and networking opportunities
in the industry.

CAREER SESSIONS AND EVENTS
Learning and practicing key entry-level skills is an important element of SPI. Through work-
shops, students gain hands-on experience in book and magazine editing, web and print
layout and design principles, production, digital marketing strategies, publicity tactics, bud-
get basics, and more.
During each session, students team up to launch a publishing business. In the magazine ses-
sion, students are assigned a specific job (e.g., editor-in-chief, print or web publisher, art
director, advertising sales director, online editor, general manager, or consumer marketing
director) and work with their team and industry advisors (such as Louis Cona, chief market-
ing officer of Condé Nast Media Group, in the top photo, below) to form a plan for a suc-
cessful magazine brand launch. In the book session, students work together in groups to
create a small publishing company or imprint with its own distinct personality. Each student
performs a specific publishing function and is guided through the process by experts in
the field (such as Calvert Morgan, senior vice president and publisher, ItBooks, and editorial
director, HarperPerennial Originals, HarperCollins, who is seen meeting with students in the
photo at the bottom right). Students present their final work to a panel of industry judges
who evaluate their editorial, business, marketing, and Web strategies, and who provide valu-
able advice. In both sessions, students experience how publishers create a business that
succeeds in print and in digital formats.

When students successfully complete the full,
six-week SPI program, they will have earned
six graduate credits which may be applied
toward an advanced degree if deemed ap-
propriate by the degree-granting institution.
By earning six graduate credits, students also
are entitled to apply for federal financial aid.
(Please see page 15)
SPI participants also may apply to the M.S.
in Publishing: Digital and Print Media pro-
gram. If accepted, they will receive six credits
toward the completion of this degree.
Please note that graduate degrees at the NYU
School of Continuing and Professional Studies
must be completed within a five-year period.
In the case of the M.S. in Publishing: Digital
and Print Media, this commences with the
start of participation in SPI.
It is highly recommended that students apply
to the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print
Media program for the fall semester following completion of SPI. All applicable deadlines for
the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media application apply to SPI students.
The Master of Science in Publishing: Digital and Print Media, offered through the NYU School
of Continuing and Professional Studies, is designed to educate a new generation of publish-
ing professionals. It teaches students how to excel in all aspects of publishing, including
books, magazines, and digital media. Classes are taught by leading professionals in the pub-
lishing field. They provide students with an in-depth overview of editing, finance, marketing
and branding, new business development, sales and distribution, advertising, law, leadership
and management, as well as the latest digital practices. Students can select a part-time or
full-time program of evening study. They network with industry leaders in the classroom and
at workshops, panels, and events, while learning the latest media strategies. They also par-
ticipate in an internship program and receive career guidance through individual counseling
sessions and workshops on résumé and cover letter preparation. Job and internship postings
are regularly distrubuted to students in the program.
Students who are accepted into the Master of Science in Publishing: Digital and Print Media,
and who successfully complete the Summer Publishing Institute, earn six credits toward
the graduate degree. For more information, visit www.scps.nyu.edu/mspub or contact the
Center for Publishing by phone at (212) 992-3232 or by e-mail at [email protected].

“ The Summer Publishing Institute laid the foundation on which I have continued to build a comprehensive understanding of the pub-lishing industry through the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media program. The intensive summer program also trained me in time management skills that have been instrumental in my pursuit of a mas-ter’s degree while working a full-time job in academic book publishing. I’d highly recom-mend partaking in both programs if you are interested in delving as deeply as possible into an engaging industry that continues to change and astound...and from which I continue to learn new things daily.”

Students who are dedicated to words, ideas, and communication are most likely to benefit
from the Summer Publishing Institute. It is helpful to have publishing experience through
internships, in libraries and bookstores, or on school publications. Skills or interest in writing
and editing, digital media, photography, graphic arts, or marketing should be highlighted in
your personal statement when applying. Proficiency in writing is crucial because publishing
professionals must be able to express themselves in a variety of written forms.
The Summer Publishing Institute is designed for recent college graduates and young profes-
sionals. Applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree before the start of the
program although no specific major is required. The Summer Publishing Institute welcomes
international students.
HOW TO APPLY
To apply for admission to the Summer Publishing Institute, submit the online application
form accompanied by your résumé, a personal statement, and a nonrefundable application
fee of $30. Official transcripts from all colleges attended and two letters of recommendation

ply. International students also are required to submit TOEFL scores. Complete instructions
can be found on the application form, which is available at www.scps.nyu.edu/spi.
Applications must be submitted online (transcripts must be submitted to our offices) no later than March 26, 2012. Early application is encouraged and early acceptance is pos-
sible for exceptional students. Late applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The

notifying applicants of acceptance by April 13, 2012, if not earlier.
If you are accepted, you must submit a $500 nonrefundable deposit no later than April 30,
2012 to secure your place in the program. Students admitted from the waitlist will have two

Note: Most students prefer to arrange for their own meals, though a meal plan is available.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Attending the Summer Publishing Institute allows students to earn six graduate credits, thereby entitling them to apply for federal aid. If you are interested in applying for aid, you will need to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Please visit the following website for more information about the FAFSA: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. We strongly urge all students to file the FAFSA as early as possible, and no later than the March 26 application deadline. Private loans also may apply.

WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS
Notice of withdrawal must be made in writing: by mail to NYU-SCPS Graduate Admissions, 7 East 12th Street, Suite 921, New York, NY 10003; or by e-mail to [email protected]. The $500 deposit, submitted before registration, is not refundable, nor is the $30 application fee or registration fees. Students also must officially drop the SPI coursework in the Albert system. Information about how to do so can be found online at http://www.nyu.edu/registrar/registration/albert-registration.html. The refund schedule is based on the day on which the courses are dropped in Albert. Tuition is reimbursed as follows: 100%, less deposit, registra-tion and application fees, for withdrawal before or during the first week of class. Withdrawal must be made on Albert by the end of the business day on June 8, 2012 in order to qualify for the 100% refund. As of the second week of class, no refund is granted. NYU does not permit variation in these policies.
