In this course, students produce the capstone project that they planned in JOUR E-597. We focus on workshopping drafts of the projects, which students revise and edit with the advice of the instructor and peers. The capstone also features guest speakers, including editors of legacy and other publications. The final portion of the course focuses on strategies for pitching and publishing students' work.
