Publishing with Students: A Comprehensive Guide

Rating:
Summary: I couldn't stop reading it
Review: As a teacher of creative writing and a literary magazine advisor for nearly
three decades, I found Chris Weber's recent work, Publishing with Students: A
Comprehensive Guide, an important contribution to the field. Chris Weber has
devoted his teaching career to the advocacy of student publications. His
enthusiasm and expertise shines through his lucid prose style. He has
compiled an updated compendium of best practices throughout the nation and
the world that will challenge and inspire both new and seasoned teachers. I
could not put this book down. I learned about exemplary publishing models
such as the Communication Arts Center and the Oregon Students Writing and Art
Foundation as well as practical tips in bookmaking, Chapbooks.com, and
international student publication projects.

Publishing with Students offers a user-friendly guidebook, devoted to process
and best practices for the 21st century. Its international perspective, its
practical outlook in terms of global and internet communication projects, and
its creative approaches to all aspects of publication make this work a worthy
resource for teachers. I strongly recommend Chris Weber's Publishing with Students.
