Thinking about self-publishing a book? Wondering what a publishing house really has to offer you, if you’re digitally savvy and know your XML from your epub, and already know marketing and promotion are on your shoulders?

This just in (literally five seconds ago) from Donna Hayes, CEO of Harlequin.Harlequin was very surprised and dismayed to receive notice late yesterday that the RWA has decided that Harlequin is no longer eligible for RWA-provided conference resources. ...

SFU Summer Publishing Workshops The Harlequin experiment. Thoughts on it: http://ow.ly/163bDI

So, news flash – the world of the traditional publishing is in chaos. The high advance/giant print run model is no longer viable, and publishers have gotten the message: change course or go out of business.

Steve Gansen

Steve Gansen Hello Fellow SFU Alums,

Here is a link to a book I acquired and edited, one we are all very excited about at Zenith Press. The book is called Hope: A Collection of Obama Posters and Prints. I used many of the skills, knowledge, and experiences from my time at the SFU Publishing Workshop to help make this book happen on ...schedule. The dividends of SFU's "boot camp" continue to pay off.

Enjoy!

The November 1, 2009 issue of Library Journal (circ.: 19,000) will feature a glowing review of Hal Elliott Wert... See More’s new book Hope. Have a look:

“Wert (Kansas City Art Inst.) has here collected an impressive selection of posters from Barack Obama¹s presidential campaign. The images are particularly notable because they are not official campaign posters but a form of outsider art, the work of a wide range of artists all of whom were inspired to work independently to promote the candidacy of Obama. Beginning with Ray Noland in Chicago (who provides a foreword), the book goes on to present the work of anonymous artists as well as that of well-known figures like Robert Indiana. We see Obama rendered as Lincoln, Superman, a pothead, a basketball hero, a boxer, a wrestler, and an Everyman depicted humorously, with dignity, with nobility, and as the neighbor down the street. It is hard to think of a graphic style that isn¹t represented. A succinct epilogue with a historical view of graphics from past political campaigns helps put the phenomenon in perspective. VERDICT More than a novelty, this enjoyable chronicle of a unique moment in America¹s national history will remain a useful document for generations. For anyone interested in graphic arts, poster art, and political history.”

Shirarose Wilensky Suzanne asked us to share, so here goes: I did the Book Publishing Immersion in 2007 where I met Halli Villegas, the publisher of Tightrope Books. 2 years later, I've moved to Toronto and now I'm the editor at Tightrope. Hooray!!

Steve Gansen

Steve Gansen The workshops are intense by design, hard-wiring you to experience very real pleasures and, yes, pains of this fascinating process. While attending last year, I was fortunate to have already had years of experience under my belt, ready to ask very specific questions about best practices, and continue to this day asking... SFU instructors follow-up questions that receive insightful, considered answers. In that way, it is the experience that keeps on giving and will continue to do so for me. The SFU Publishing Workshop experience is more than a resume filler; it fills voids that will set you apart from your editorial colleagues in a short amount of time. In this economy and job market, this course gives prospective book publishing professionals a leg up.
