Research a publication
For this assignment you will research a contemporary publisher of creative nonfiction. All of these pubs live on the Fourth Floor of Alden or can be found online. I want you to browse through a few hardcopies, reading one or two articles in depth. Also, go to the publication website.
Type up a written assessment on your assigned publication and post on the blog
Information to include:
A general description of the publication, what they publish and the style of the magazine.
What kind of nonfiction is published? (Profiles? Memoir? Investigative reporting? Lyrical essays?) Describe at least two articles (a brief summary). Make sure to include the titles and the author. Your goal is to give some kind of idea of what “type” of nonfiction is the publication’s bent.
Does the magazine have specific departments?
Does magazine seem to favor a particular style or tone?
How long are the articles?
What do the graphics tell you about this magazine?
Audience: Can you find the circulation numbers of this magazine? Based on the publication, how would you describe the demographic of this magazine? (An educated guess is fine).
What is the submission policy?
