Do you dream of working at a publishing house? Are you seeking a practical application for your love of reading and writing? Learn what it takes to produce and market a book in this hands-on, team-centered experience that features workshops, strategy sessions and guest speakers who are industry professionals. This is a unique experience at Susquehanna offers the only summer program in the country for high school students interested in book publishing.
Working in our dedicated publishing lab, The Letterbox, you, and your teammates will create a book launch and marketing campaign for a trade book. Your team will come up with a book title and cover, determine the book’s audience, and create a digital presentation to sell the book to investors and consumers.
Along the way you’ll explore the book’s influence on society and culture and develop your entrepreneurship and team-building skills. You’ll also hear from working professionals about career paths in publishing and how Susquehanna’s Publishing & Editing program prepared them to do what they love: bringing literature into the world.
