This is a class blog for "DIY Publishing for Writers & Others," a course offered by the Writing Program at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Read the course description below:
Authors and artists decide to publish their own work for countless reasons. Students in this course will explore the pros and cons of self-publishing as they produce their own printed and bound multiples. The course will introduce students to design and layout software, such as Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and basic bookbinding techniques, as well as xerography, desktop publishing, print-on-demand, and blogging. While choosing the most effective among those formats, students will create and workshop new work based on their own interests in different media and genres (poetry, prose, comics, etc.) and learn to plan and work within an individual budget. No prior experience with publishing required.
