SUMMER PUBLISHING
INSTITUTE
CENTER FOR PUBLISHING
BOOK, MAGAZINE, AND DIGITAL PUBLISHING
JUNE 4–JULY 13, 2012

CAN SIX
WEEKS
CHANGE
YOUR
LIFE?
At the Summer Publishing Institute (SPI), students are immersed
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 Continuing
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 companies,
publishing houses, and bookstores, SPI students experience
publishing firsthand.
NYU-SCPS offers three pathways to professional publishing education:
the Summer Publishing Institute, the Master of Science in Publishing:
Digital and Print Media, and executive education programming
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 PROGRAM
At the Summer Publishing Institute, you study both publishing basics and the latest online
applications and strategies. The six-week intensive program provides a thorough introduction
to every aspect of magazine and book publishing. Students attend lectures and presentations
given by leading executives about key industry issues and participate in workshops
and hands-on strategy sessions. Our computer workshops cover the latest publishing technologies,
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.

MAGAZINE
PUBLISHING
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 required
to produce a magazine brand successfully—including
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 leading
media companies in New York City to learn how they
compete in this dynamic and creative environment.

“ Thank you for all of your help. I owe so much to SPI for providing
me with the opportunity to begin my career in New York
with the publisher I’ve always admired most.”

SPI 2011
BOOK
PUBLISHING
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.

WORKSHOPS AND REAL-WORLD
ASSIGNMENTS
Learning and practicing key entry-level skills is an important element of SPI. Through workshops,
students gain hands-on experience in book and magazine editing, web and print
layout and design principles, production, digital marketing strategies, publicity tactics, budget
basics, and more.
During each session, students team up to launch a publishing business. In the magazine session,
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 marketing
officer of Condé Nast Media Group, in the top photo, below) to form a plan for a successful
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 valuable
advice. In both sessions, students experience how publishers create a business that
succeeds in print and in digital formats.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Students who are dedicated to words, ideas, and communication are most likely to benefit

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 professionals.
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.
