| StopnGo | Posted – 12/12/2007 4:15:02 AM | show profile Hello, I'm a English graduate trying to enter the NYC book or magazine publishing industry. I was thinking about enrolling in either the Columbia Publishing Program or the certificate/MA degree at NYU 's SCPS. Columbia's didn't mention how much it cost, and the one at NYU costs as much as J-school, so I just wanted to get some feedback on people who either took either of these programs, or heard anything about them from people who did. I plan on going to info. sessions for both of these... ------ Thank you~~ |

I actually applied and went through SPI at NYU, and I loved that so many people in the publishing world (both mags and books) were accessible to you. These professionals acted as the "teachers" and it was a seminar. I can say that it was very fast-paced and I didn't get much sleep through the six weeks program, but it really gave me an insight into the industry (magazine) that I want to be in. |
