Okay, all the workshops and speakers were great, but getting out of the classroom and inside some of America’s top publishing companies was one of the highlights of the week for SPI students.In groups of 20 or so, they visited the offices of Good Housekeeping, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Sports Illustrated, Travel & Leisure and Self.
I was lucky enough to go to SI, where students were invited to sit in on two staff editorial meetings and briefly experience a typical day at the publication. The hot topic was what would be on this week’s cover. (Sorry, we were all sworn to secrecy!)
