[New-Poetry] Re: Literary Publshing Certificate

[David Baratier]

Jim--
 
I think the idea of a literary journal certificate is weird, but might be becoming current fashion. University of Houston wanted my input on a Masters program of the same sort they are considering instituting, a solid two year program. A three hour certificate just seems fluffy. Literary journals and poetry publishers are losers, paper and raw materials is worth more left alone than after production.  It takes more than a three credit class to overcome that obstacle. But why not, instead, take all the tuition and start publishing anyways and assume all the money is lost?

Be well

Someone sent me a link to this program. I must admit I thought it was another
idea
to scam a couple grand off of unsuspecting young people: Pay us now, so?you can
really?lose
some serious loot later publishing literary titles...
