Soon I’ll be one of these photos!
It’s been made official. I’m joining the faculty of Humber College’s Creative Book Publishing Program in 2015. Overseen by new executive director Alison Maclean, Humber’s Creative Book Publishing Program is an intensive summer-long course in all aspects of book publishing, including editorial, marketing, literary agenting/rights management, technology, and more. I’ll be teaching the Marketing Overview course, which outlines the basics and history of book marketing, how it intersects with editorial and sales, and the various marketing and publicity tactics publishers currently use (and may start using) to get their books in the hands of readers.
I’m really excited (and a little bit nervous) to start teaching, but I’m really pleased to be part of the Humber College team. I will likely be calling on some of you to come in and speak to the class, so I thank you in advance. And if you know anyone keen to apply for the Humber Creative Book Publishing Program, please take this new information and encourage or warn them, accordingly.
