  • The reader role at agencies and publishers
  • Differences in reading for agencies, traditional publishers and hybrid publishers
  • Finding reader work
  • Identifying content concerns
  • The basics of what a reader report should include

The class also includes a reader report template and an example of a completed reader report.

Self-paced classes can be taken at any time. There is no assignment and no answer key for this class.
