Got a book that needs publishing? Tectonic shifts have shaken the publishing landscape in recent years, crumbling the traditional distinctions among large, small and vanity presses. An author’s new options include royalty publishing, copublishing, self-publishing, managed production and printing.
What does it all mean and how can you benefit?
To answer these questions, the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) has invited acquisitions editors from some of the Bay AreaÌ¢âÂÁs leading publishing houses:
* Roger Freet – Senior Editor, HarperSF
* Alan Rinzler – Executive Acquisitions Editor, Jossey-Bass
* Jason Gardner – Senior Editor, New World Library
* Lindy Hough – Founder and Copublisher, North Atlantic Books
* Mark Weiman – Founder and Director, Regent Press Printers and Publishers
The forum takes place Thursday, November 10, 7 p.m. at the University of California, Berkeley, Journalism Library on campus at the corner of Hearst and Euclid.
Admission to the panel discussion is $5 for the general public, free for ASJA members and UC students, staff and faculty. Please reserve by sending an e-mail to Laird Harrison: laird_harrison@hotmail.com.
