2012 E-Book Nuts and Bolts
Congratulations, you’ve got e-books! Now what?Wondering how to get traction in the e-book market as a small press? Triaging e-book workflow amidst staff changes? Grappling with the time e-books require when you’ve got other work, too? These are a few of the challenges e-books bring as we begin to refine our workflows. Panelists from Rights, Marketing, and the Director’s office at three small presses will talk frankly about the e-book issues they have been grappling with and what has and has not worked for them. We are setting aside time for Q&A, so bring e-book questions you’ve been wanting to ask!
