Publishing Institute

Welcome

The Denver Publishing Institute is the ideal launching pad for your career in book publishing. During four weeks, it will introduce you to the exciting and ever-changing world of book publishing. The course will provide a solid educational foundation and an excellent network for your subsequent job search.
The Institute is taught by industry professionals who work at trade, university, textbook, and small independent publishers throughout the country as well as in New York.
Our graduates go on to publishing careers around the country and the world. You'll find some of our recent graduates at HarperCollins; Penguin Group; Oxford University Press; St Martin's Press; Sourcebooks, Inc; Pearson; McGraw-Hill and many more.
Applications for the 2013 program, scheduled to begin on July 14, 2013, will be available in November.
Come join us next summer in beautiful Colorado.

What do graduates say about the program?

"DPI is the best decision I ever made. It was life-changing, and I'll never forget it."
"The DPI was an immensely valuable experience. The program itself was very well-run and organized. Each of the speakers added to the Institute. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I've learned so much and I'll take with me knowledge of publishing that will stay with me forever."
"My experience thus far as an editorial assistant has truly been a dream come true; the job is incredible, just what I hoped it would be... I have absolutely relied on what I learned in Denver to keep my head above water-- and I am absolutely confident that without DPI I would never have gotten the initial interview and certainly not the job. I will always be grateful to you and the program for the most valuable four weeks of my post-graduate life."
