Writing 244

Spring 2005 project

Since I've mentioned last year's WR244 publication project so many times in class already, it's probably a good idea for me to show you what I'm referring to. The 2005 advanced fiction writing class undertook editing and publishing a collection of student writing, which we chose to call Synthesis. This anthology featured a wide range of short stories, as well as an experimental novella titled Yield; the collection also published the winners of the 2005 Writers' Club Contest. Synthesis was initially published as an e-book, and can be downloaded from the English Department's publications webpage.

After the course ended, several students voiced their interest in having it also appear as a print-on-demand book. For this to happen, a complete reformat and proofing of the e-book was necessary. Randy Thrall took up the challenge and delivered an updated PDF version of the anthology that was then proofread by myself and Ben Tiffany. Once finalized, the anthology was uploaded to CafePress.com, where hard copies can be ordered and purchased. As this project was a non-profit enterprise, the books are priced at cost:
