Overview

Master of Writing and Publishing

Develop a nuanced understanding of writing and publishing culture, undertaking research in both an Australian and a global context.

This degree at RMIT is designed as a series of connected studios in which you take on specific industry challenges through collaborative and interdisciplinary learning and teaching strategies. 

Publications in both group and individual scenarios, from print to digital, are the focus of the Bowen Street Press. 

A combination of industry-led research and individual projects in the second year of the degree will ensure a high level of flexibility for students.

Lecturers and academics all have strong industry relationships and experience, and the learning environment simulates professional practice within the writing, editing and publishing industries

The studios comprise an internship day, weekend intensives, weekly face-to-face seminars and student-directed learning.
