A pragmatic look at a fast-developing area of the industry, that has also been heralded as foreshadowing its imminent demise. With the assistance of industry observers, representatives from both a major traditional publishing house and one of the new breed of specialist organisations offering bespoke publishing services, this seminar will highlight the concerns that all involved with publishing share, and what those entering the industry have both to learn from – and teach – their counterparts.

Chair: Alison Baverstock, Course Leader, MA Publishing, Kingston University and author of The Naked Author, a guide to self-publishing (Bloomsbury 2011).
