The Columbia Publishing Course, formerly known as the Radcliffe Publishing Course, is a six-week graduate-level summer course on book, magazine, and digital publishing at Columbia University.[1]
Many of the course's graduates have gone on to be editors in the "Big Five" publishing companies. The program is known for its lectures held by industry leaders,[according to whom?] many of whom are graduates of the course themselves; and for its two immersive workshop weeks, "Book Week" and "Magazine Week," in which students plan and design their own book imprint and magazine brand, respectively.[2] Some student work have gone on to become actual books, including the bestselling Lean In: Women, Work and the Will To Lead by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg.[3]
It was established in 1947 at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Edith Gratia Stedman, as a training course for women looking to get into publishing. It became co-ed in 1949. In 2000, when Radcliffe was integrated into Harvard University, the program was moved to Pulitzer Hall at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City.[4]
The Columbia Publishing Course has also offered a four-week sister program in September at Exeter College in Oxford, England since 2016.[5]
Shaye Areheart, a former Doubleday editor, has been director of the Columbia Publishing Course since 2013, having been a lecturer for it since 1988. Areheart took over the course after the death of longtime director Lindy Hess, who was known for launching the careers of many editors.[6][7][8]
Renowned editor Robert Gottlieb is shown addressing the course in the 2022 documentary Turn Every Page.[9]
