Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Weekly lecture sessions and seminars enable students to develop a theoretical knowledge of the contemporary fiction market, its operations and actors. Weekly seminar sessions will mirror the lecture series and will provide a medium for student centred learning. Students will develop their analysis of the fiction market and apply this to the preparation of assignments and weekly coursework. In addition to the above, industry guest lectures from the publishing programme will be available to students on this module.Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship SkillsA thorough understanding of the fiction market provides key employability skills and prepares students for the workplace. Scholarship skills will be developed through participation in a range of classroom based analytical exercises and independent, personal critical exploration of the fiction market.
|
Students will undertake two summative assessments during the module. Completion of a manuscript appraisal (40%) in week 7 (LOs 2, 3, 4) will involve the student in a theoretical exercise where they will be asked to assess the market for a new title. This will involve an evaluation of the manuscript, market size, rights opportunities, routes to market, and preparation of a sample manuscript for publication. The second assignment will take the form of an exam (60%) in week 14/15 (LOs 1-6), in which the student will analyse and debate the wider issues facing the contemporary fiction market.
