Go me, right? Well here is the problem. I have no experience with working in this type of environment. I know college is a learning process and they don't expect perfection(at my uni at least), but I still want to make the best of my time.
I was just wondering if anyone has experience in this area and could give me a few pointers? I am a copy editor on paper, but I am pretty sure I will be taking part in all areas of the magazine due to the small size of the staff.
I can edit copy pretty well(though I'm not always able to produce it
), so I'm not terribly concerned about that specifically. I'm not even sure what it is I'm trying to ask. What makes a great college literary journal, maybe? Aside from content, of course, which I have no control of and is limited to current students.
I guess anything anyone can say on the topic would be helpful. My internet searches haven't produced much on the topic.
Also, I'm not sure if this is the right board for this post. Feel free to move it if my choice was incorrect.
