It’s time for the annual Publishers’ University–next week! What happened to May?! It’s sponsored by the Independent Book Publishers Association. I’m leading two panels this year: The Publishers’ Repair Kit and Converting Promotion into Book Sales. We have attracted amazing speakers again. I will also be up bright and early to share my expertise at the pre-breakfast round tables, “Ask the Experts.” I love the chance to connect with colleagues in the book publishing business, to meet exciting new publishers who are passionate about what they have to say, and to help convene these panels where we all contribute to each others’ learning and success.
If you have been thinking about publishing and want some grounding in the fundamentals and good business practices for *every* aspect of book publishing, then you should consider IBPA’s Publishers’ University a required stop on your highway to success. You can learn more at http://www.ibpa-online.org. From that home page for the association, click on the icon for Publishers’ University. If you can’t make it to New York, you can order recordings of any or all of the sessions.
