More than 200 seasoned industry professionals will be in Los Angeles, CA, at the 19th Publishing University, May 27-29, sharing their knowledge, insight and tips about book publishing with hundreds of individuals from self-published authors to publishing house executives. This year's University--which offers more than 80 sessions during the three full days--is aimed at guiding new and expanding publishers from start-up to "grown-up"--and beyond. The Publishing University is presented by PMA, The Independent Book Publishers Association, celebrating 25 years as the largest trade association for independent publishers in the world.
In addition to eight separate book publishing educational "tracks," including Sales, Marketing, Editorial, Publicity and Finance, an Advanced track dedicated to more experienced publishers, the 2008 Publishing University features:
Dominique Raccah, president and CEO of Sourcebooks, one of the fastest-growing independent publishers in the industry sharing her insights and experiences as she built--and continues to build--her successful company.
David Steinberger, CEO of Perseus Book Group, named by Publishers Weekly as the 2007 Publisher of the Year, and Johnny Temple, Publisher of Akashic Books, whose success has been built on "out of the mainstream" urban and political fiction, in a panel discussion on the future of independent publishing.
Sara Nelson, Editor of Publishers Weekly, the key book industry trade magazine, speaking exclusively to the Advanced track Publishing University attendees from her unique perspective as both a participant in, and observer of, the book industry.
