The Magazine from Cover to Cover Third Edition

The third edition of the textbook I coauthored, The Magazine from Cover to Cover, has an all-new chapter on digital and online magazines by Lori Blachford, Peggy Fisher and Larry Stelter Chair of Magazine Journalism at Drake University.  Plus updated information elsewhere.

The book comes with huge thanks to all the Drake alums who helped their former professors with insight into their jobs and the industry, including Rachel DeSchepper, Country Living; Joanna Linberg, Better Homes and Gardens; Michael Mettler, Sound + Vision; Wendy Naugle, Glamour; Tanner Stranksy, Entertainment Weekly; Megan Stotmeister, DailyCandy.com; Jill Waage, Better Homes and Gardens; and Kaelin Zawilinski, bhg.com. 

Writing Workshop: Inspiration and Action

Remember why you wanted to be a writer?  The love of language, the joy of reading and writing.  But do  you feel you’ve lost your soul to SEO?  Are you tired of expressing yourself in bullet points and subheads?  

Let’s have fun with writing again.  Join me for this morning workshop and we’ll get inspired by the work of award-winning journalists and authors and celebrate how their words soar, their thoughts engage.  

Then we’ll discuss what this means to you, including new ways to publish essays, long-form journalism, and books.
