Preconference Workshops
Publishing 101
LeeAnn Stone, Houghton Mifflin
Laurel Miller, Houghton Mifflin
Presentation date: 03/21/2007 1:00 PM in UC Living Room
Abstract
In this two-hour pre-conference workshop, World Language Specialist for Houghton
Mifflin, Dr. LeeAnn Stone, and Laurel Miller, Senior Content Manager for World
Languages, will guide participants through the steps involved in moving from
idea to
published product.
The workshop will be divided into three segments focusing on the business of
publishing (including the market, opportunities and positioning), the process
(researching, clarifying project concept, creating the proposal, and bringing
the project to
market) and the people (the editors, developmental editors, marketers and others
who are involved in the process).
Participants will gain enough information about the publishing process to be
able to confidently approach publishers with their prospectuses and
knowledgeably navigate through the subsequent path to publication. Questions and
discussions will be
entertained throughout this session.
Note that although this workshop is presented by Houghton Mifflin, the process
that will be outlined and discussed applies to preparation for any college world
language publishing proposal.
