So I'm half way through my Creative Book Publishing program at Humber College. I feel like I've learned a lot and I'm pretty up on what's up in the publishing world. I'm itching to start my own company but I know I have to get experience somewhere else first.

Enter, internships.

I think I'd like a place that publishes young adult fiction, as that's what I like to write and read and eventually hopefully publish someday. I'd also like a place that appreciates fantasy and SF (what's up with not calling it sci/fi anymore, guys?). And/or, ebook publishing. That's exciting. I've already queried a couple of places, and I'm excited to hear back.

I've chosen my specializations for the course as well. You can chose between Editorial, Marketing and Agenting. I chose Editorial and Marketing. I did consider Agenting, because it gives you a really great in-depth look at rights and contracts from a writer's perspective, but I decided in the end that I wanted to learn more about editing. If only we could take all three.

I'm also taking an advanced technology workshop that hopefully goes more indepth about creating websites and putting together ebooks. Granted, most of the class is taking this optional workshop, so hopefully the prof will have enough time to go through everything he wants to do.

Just two more weeks of modules, and then specializations begins, and so does the second half of the course. Can't wait!!
