Edit a magazine. Publish a poetry chapbook. Create letterpress greeting cards. Write a front-page investigative newspaper feature.

Through the Center for Publishing & Editing at Millikin University, you can do all of this and more.

The Center for Publishing & Editing prepares students for careers in the publishing industry and gives them the experience needed for graduate studies in publishing, journalism, rhetoric and composition, technical communication, digital media, creative writing, and more.

Our courses immerse students in the histories and technologies of printing, ranging from letterpress to prepress software and digital production. Students also learn about subjects relevant to the field, including freelance writing, book and magazine editing, web publishing, journalism, technical writing and editing, scholarly publishing, and more.

Many students interested in this coursework choose to complete our Publishing & Editing minor, perform editorial work for university and community clients, and complete internships.
