Train and Work as a Literary (文学的) Editor This Summer!
The Summer Scholars Program provided by Polyphony Company is an 8-week online pro-gram for 9th-12th grade high school students. After completing this program, students will have some basic knowledge of literary editing.
Course Schedule
Training: Weeks 1-3
Week 1
Approaching Poetry: online content, live lectures and discussions with poetry instructors. Cooperate with other learners on one poetry submission.
Week 2
Approaching Fiction: online content, live lectures and discussions with fiction instructors. Cooperate with other learners on one fiction submission.
Week 3
Approaching Creative Nonfiction: online content, live lectures, and discussions with creative nonfiction instructors. Cooperate with other learners on one creative nonfiction submission.
Weeks 4-8
Work as a junior editor, responding to two editorial tasks per week. Learners will receive feedback on every task, having a meeting with the instructors to discuss interests, feedback, and the areas of each page for focus.
Learning Outcomes
We expect learners will advance their literary skills while doing meaningful work. Specific learning goals include: methods to approach poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction; practice using literary devices to interpret and analyze submissions and give editorial feedback.
Cost: $ 350/learner
We hope that the summer learners will continue working with Polyphony Company when they finish the program. And the learners will have a chance to be an editing role at Polyphony Company and its high school literary magazine. The instructors will give you personal feedback about your path to promotion, but as a learner, it is not a guarantee of promotion. Historically, about 10% of our junior editors earn promotion to senior editors.
