F283. Taking It International: Undergrads on Creating a Multimedia Zine Read Outside the US

Room 1, Tampa Convention Center, First Floor
Friday, March 9, 2018
4:30 pm to 5:45 pm

 

Students and faculty from a diverse polytechnical college—not literature-focused, but ranked 23 in the Princeton Review's 2017 "Top 50 Undergraduate Schools to Study Game Design"—share how they utilized technology to take an undergrad-staffed, multimedia literary zine international. They explain interdisciplinary on-campus collaborations; getting written up in the UK Daily Mail; and how to snag literary contest judges like Juan Felipe Herrera, Daniel Handler, Glynn Washington, and A. Van Jordan.
