UNCW: Publishing Laboratory

Established in 2000 under the visionary guidance of former CEO of HarperCollins and distinguished visiting professor Stanley Colbert, The Publishing Laboratory serves as both a classroom for graduate and undergraduate students and a fully functioning micropress that issues original works under its own imprint. 

Integral to UNCW's Department of Creative Writing, the Pub Lab incorporates into the apprenticeship of creative writers an applied learning experience in the process by which literary manuscripts, including their own, are designed, shaped, and edited into books and published to a wide audience of readers.
