Joining the staff of Inscape Magazine (English 394R Fall) allows students to participate in the process of publishing a literary journal. Staff members choose a genre—short fiction, personal essay, poetry—and work with a genre editor to solicit, evaluate, edit, and layout for publication pieces of writing that have been submitted to the journal. Students will learn editing and evaluation skills and will practice working with others; they will also learn the basics of Word Press, Photoshop, and InDesign. http://inscape.byu.edu/

The Professional Writing Internships course (ENGL 394R Winter) gives students the opportunity to learn specific professional writing skills and techniques (including technical, proposal, and marketing writing), and then apply these skills in a mini-internship for a local company (students need to be able to work at least 5 hours/week on internship. Internship placement depends on provider and student needs). Students complete the course with a personal digital writing portfolio and meaningful work experience to add to a resume.
