SUMMARY:Career Advancement in the Field of Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Publishing\, like all fields\, has changed tremendously in recent years. Impacted by everything from technology to globalization to the rise in self-publishing\, the field has needed to be agile to stay relevant. Publishing professionals have needed to be more agile yet\, with editors dipping their toes into marketing\, designers developing expertise in ebooks\, and everyone on the team learning to do the social media do-si-do. \nWith so much going on\, it’s easy to lose track of personal career management. In this session\, expert career strategist Amy Lindgren will describe three key arenas of modern publishing and two discovery questions to pursue in determining your next career moves. Come join the discussion and learn ways to stay upright in a field where the ground keeps shifting. \nPresident of Prototype Career Service since 1985\, Amy writes a nationally syndicated column (twincities.com/lindgren) and appears regularly as a guest expert on Minnesota Public Radio. She has authored 12 job search guides and is co-author of a 2016 workbook for older job seekers. In addition to building her career counseling practice\, she has maintained a parallel\, intermittent profession in publishing which began with proofreading at West Publishing during college. \nIn 1992 Amy founded Banfil Street Press to publish a book on the repatriation of former prisoners of war\, which was awarded an honorable mention in the Minnesota Book Awards. Three years later she created Prototype Career Media as a way to publish job search guides and curriculum. She considers publishing to be her second professional “home” and has been an MPBR member off and on since 1990.

SUMMARY:What's in a Campaign? Three Success Stories from Twin Cities Publishers
DESCRIPTION:In the fast-paced and quickly changing world of marketing and publicity\, ambitious literary campaigns are being launched daily. On January 20\, three panelists representing the young adult\, literary fiction\, and education markets will each discuss a successful campaign they recently launched—and what made it a success. \nEach panelist will explain the goals of their campaign\, touching on a variety of topics including how they took a new approach to secure coverage\, how they received customer engagement in a new way\, what tactics were used\, and what advice they would give when it comes to creating a unique marketing and publicity campaign. This luncheon will be a great opportunity for publishers\, authors\, and freelancers to hear about several effective book campaigns and gain concrete examples on how to leverage their own content in new ways. \nPresenters\nCaroline Casey is the managing director at Coffee House Press. She has a background in marketing\, publicity\, and acquisitions\, including stints at Sarabande Books and Stanford University Press\, and holds an MFA from the Nonfiction Writing Program at the University of Iowa. \nCampaign: The Story of My Teeth is a novel in translation\, about making art and telling stories\, and full of guest appearances from Kafka\, Petrarch\, and lions of the contemporary Mexican canon\, i.e.\, a tough sell. It was also Coffee House’s runaway hit in 2015 and on more than 20 best-of lists this year — the successful matching of a great book\, a long lead\, and extraordinary bookseller support. \nMatthias Frasch was born and raised in Laichingen\, Germany\, and started his career in 1990 in print production and press operation. In 2001 Matthias moved to the US and was hired as a Production Specialist at EMC Publishing and eventually was promoted to manage the Design and Production Department overseeing design and production of many large educational programs. In 2011 Matthias ventured off on his own following his interest in digital production and started his business Braintree Education. He spent his energy creating digital publishing solutions and teaching concepts\, including an iPad app and web design. In 2013 Matthias rejoined EMC Publishing as the Digital Marketing & Analytics Manager. His main focus is digital marketing operations including Salesforce Marketing Cloud\, Marketing Automation\, Google Analytics\, and everything else that ensures measurable marketing solutions in a B2B market. \nCampaign: Matthias will introduce EMC Connect\, EMC’s newest blog hub offering tips\, resource\, trends\, and more to a broad audience. \nShannon Hoffmann is the Global Trade Marketing Director at Capstone. Her career as a consumer-focused sales and marketing professional\, spanning 20 years and multiple industries — including printing\, food\, and publishing — has centered around her passions for branding\, communications\, social media\, and marketing strategy. \nCampaign: Shannon will discuss the marketing campaign for the launch of a new young adult series repositioning the iconic Lois Lane as a contemporary teenager. The campaign was focused around using social engagement to create advanced demand for the first title and the series.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Intellectual Property with Content Management Systems
DESCRIPTION:Today\, publishers prepare books for both print and digital formats simultaneously. How does the modern workflow accomplish this? Editors can apply XML at the very beginning of the workflow and store this cleanly tagged content in a content management system (CMS). This makes content available in a consistent and clean state in one central repository\, which can be updated by the editor if need be. It also makes repurposing content much more cost-effective\, and “future proofs” the workflow for formats that might not even exist yet. \nJoin Colleen Cunningham as she presents a case study in how her company has shifted from a traditional\, print-centric workflow to this contemporary workflow and at the same time empowered its editorial\, design\, and sales teams to operate more efficiently. \nPresenter\nColleen Cunningham is the Senior Technical Production Specialist at F+W\, a Content and eCommerce Company. From production layout artist to book designer to ebook developer\, her career has spanned an exciting time in book publishing. Working in a CMS encompasses all of these interests and more\, including editing and content repurposing. She enjoys demonstrating to her colleagues how they can also adapt to and thrive in this modern workflow. A member of AIGA and Bookbuilders of Boston\, she has presented at Tech Forum’s ebookcraft\, Digital Book World Conference\, HOW Design Conference\, Boston InDesign User Group\, Emerson College\, and the Massachusetts College of Art. You can find her hanging out with the #eprdctn group on Twitter as @BookDesignGirl.

SUMMARY:Successful Publicity Campaigns in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:With so many avenues for publicizing books\, how do today’s publicists plan and execute successful publicity campaigns? Where do they choose to focus their efforts among the ever-growing number of options for spreading the word about a new title?

From 1996–2004\, she was the publicist and assistant marketing director at the University of Minnesota Press.

SUMMARY:Copyright Essentials for Publishing Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Copyright was born in the wake of the technological and information revolution heralded by the introduction of the printing press in Europe. It has defined relationships between creators\, publishers\, and society. In the digital age\, where copyrighted works are instantaneously accessible in multiple countries and individuals are capable of piracy\, understanding the contours of U.S. and foreign copyright law is essential. \nThis presentation explores and contrasts key areas of U.S.\, international\, and foreign copyright law including authorship and ownership\, duration of copyright protection\, permissions\, work-for-hire\, the scope of fair use\, and copyright formalities. \nGuest Speaker\nSusan Marsnik is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Ethics and Business Law\, Opus College of Business\, the University of St. Thomas. Her research focuses on comparative and international intellectual property and data privacy law. She has been published in law and business journals\, books\, and encyclopedias and works for professional and legal education programs. In addition to teaching legal issues in a business environment in the United States\, she has taught comparative intellectual property law in specialized graduate programs in European universities and as a Fulbright Specialist at Beni Suef University in Egypt. \nShe has held numerous international visiting professor appointments and regularly presents her work at academic conferences. She has been invited to share her work on comparative copyright with the U.K. Society of Legal Scholars and to the World Arbitration Forum on Intellectual Property in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Prior to becoming an attorney\, Susan Marsnik spent the first decade of her professional life in the book publishing industry and was a member of the Minnesota Book Publishers Roundtable in the late 1980s when she served as Marketing Director at the University of Minnesota Press.

SUMMARY:The Changing Role of an Editor: Tools of the Trade
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s because of technology or shifting trends in staffing resources\, the role of an editor is always changing. In recent years\, there has been a need to accommodate digital workflow early in the editorial process through the help of tools such as InCopy\, macros in Word\, and XML tagging. What makes a publishing company choose one tool over another? How does an editor train other teams to use these tools? What goes on behind the scenes to create the best print and digital products possible? \nAnd increasingly\, an editor’s role is changing further still as publishers rely on freelancers for copyediting\, developmental editing\, and production. What sort of training\, communication\, preparation\, and infrastructure helps a publisher establish successful relationships with freelance editors? And how can freelance editors best prepare themselves to jump into the various workflows and processes they may encounter? \nPresenters\nHeidi Hogg is a freelance copyeditor\, proofreader\, and project manager. After working eight years for various book publishers in the Twin Cities\, she decided to start her own business. Heidi has adapted to many different house style guides (and even helped create some)\, but she’s an unabashed Chicago Manual of Style enthusiast. This explains her preference for copyeditor as one word (see section 2 of 7.85!)\, as well as the Chicago Manual of Style decorative minibook that adorned her Christmas tree. You can reach Heidi at heidi.hogg.editor@gmail.com. \nAndrew Karre is an executive editor at Dutton Children’s Books\, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Until very recently\, he was editorial director at Carolrhoda Books\, Carolrhoda Lab\, and Darby Creek\, imprints of Lerner Publishing Group. Over the course of his career in children’s literature\, he has acquired\, edited\, and published notable and bestselling authors like Maggie Stiefvater\, Vaunda Micheaux Nelson\, Carrie Jones\, and Carrie Mesrobian\, among many others. While at Lerner\, Andrew also spearheaded the creation of an all-digital editorial workflow\, including implementing Adobe InCopy across the editorial team. He lives and works from his home in Saint Paul. \nMichael Stoffel is an assistant managing editor at the University of Minnesota Press\, where he has been on staff since 1998. He edits or oversees the editing of some fifty books and twenty journal issues a year. He has been known to take on a freelance project now and again. He lives in Saint Paul. \nModerator\nDavid Farr is ImageSmythe’s principal of art direction and print\, web\, and tablet digital production. He brings more than twenty-five years of publishing experience to his design and production work. He founded ImageSmythe in 1986 to provide publishing services for the advertising\, direct mail\, magazine\, and book publishing fields. Having dealt with pixels for much of his professional career\, Farr has returned to the darkroom to develop his landscape photography\, shot using large-format cameras and traditional black-and-white film.

SUMMARY:Best Practices for Producing Print and Digital Content
DESCRIPTION:As e-books continue to grow more and more popular\, a print-focused production process just doesn’t work anymore. How can publishers alter and streamline their workflow for simultaneous print and digital production\, instead of creating e-books as an afterthought? What steps can be implemented early on that will aid in digital production and save time later? Is there a better way to prep a print file if you know it will be a fixed layout e-book vs. a reflowable e-book? Can things be implemented as early as Word? Is there software other than Word and Adobe products people could be using to streamline the print to digital workflow? \nWho better to ask than an e-book designer with a background in print books? As we enter the holiday season\, join us for a lively discussion about best practices for producing print and digital products that align with cutting-edge standards. \nPresenter\nLaura Brady is an old-school typesetter who re-purposed as an ebook developer a few years ago. A long history in print and design coupled with her new coding knowledge means that she is the right combination of right brain/left brain to survive the digital publishing revolution. You can connect with her on Twitter\, LinkedIn\, or via her Brady Type website

SUMMARY:Current Trends at Local Bookstores: Lunch with Minnesota Book Buyers
DESCRIPTION:Those who work in book publishing spend a lot of time thinking about—surprise!—readers. What are they looking for\, what are they reading now\, what haven’t they seen yet? What trends in the book market seem to be waning\, or emergent; what’s going to make a person choose that book from a full table of options? And how do we really\, in our region\, get a sense of this all in the moment? Who better to ask than some of the local bookstore owners and booksellers\, who see these narratives unfold in their own stores daily. \nAs we begin (already!) the climb into the fall and holiday season\, join us for a lively\, wide-ranging discussion about what area booksellers and book buyers have been seeing in their stores: what’s hot\, what’s not\, what’s trending and what’s slowing down. What seems to be working for publishers these days\, especially in terms of a relationship with bookstores and frontline staff? Or even\, what kinds of covers seem to be connecting with readers\, whether for fiction or non-fiction\, regional or national\, young adult or picture books. \nThere will be no shortage of potential topics\, so please lend your voice to a fun discussion with some of our area’s esteemed booksellers\, book buyers\, and store owners. \nPresenters\nJudith Kissner is the owner of Scout & Morgan Books in Cambridge\, Minnesota. In 2002 she opened her first bookstore\, Log Cabin Books\, and in 2007\, expanded and moved to her current location in the downtown Cambridge area. She has served on the Cambridge City-Wide Read Committee since its inception in 2008. \nMary Magers is part of the management team at Magers and Quinn Booksellers where they buy and sell new\, used\, antiquarian\, and remaindered books\, and where she has been in the business since before any of it was done on computers. Her responsibilities include overseeing inventory management of new books\, including purchasing\, marketing\, events\, and monitoring sales and returns. Katie McGinley is a manager and buyer at Wild Rumpus Books\, a children’s bookstore in Minneapolis. She is definitely a generalist\, reading and recommending books from all genres for kids of all ages\, but is a special fan of graphic novels for kids and teens. \nMartin Schmutterer is the general manager and front-list buyer at Common Good Books in Saint Paul. A bookseller with over twenty years of experience\, he has worked in chain stores and independents\, including the late-lamented Ruminator (nee Hungry Mind) and Bound to Be Read.

SUMMARY:Metadata Management: Processes and Best Practices for Publishers
DESCRIPTION:Building on a brief summary of metadata fundamentals\, this presentation will cover what happens when your metadata leaves your publishing house. Retailers and libraries — not just publishers — use many sources of metadata\, and some of these data feeds overwrite one another. Retailers also change the metadata that gets sent to them\, load data feeds at different rates\, and handle corrections differently. Participants can expect to come away with practical guidelines on creating\, distributing\, and updating the metadata for their books. \nPresenter\nLaura Dawson is Product Manager for Identifiers at Bowker\, the world’s leading provider of bibliographic information management solutions designed to help publishers\, booksellers\, and libraries better serve their customers. Previously\, Laura worked at the following companies: Firebrand\, Muze/Rovi\, SirsiDynix\, Barnes & Noble.com\, independent booksellers\, Bantam Spectra Books\, and Doubleday. Laura has also been an independent consultant to the publishing industry. \nHer clients have included Bowker\, McGraw-Hill Higher Education\, Cengage\, Audible\, Alibris\, Loyola Press\, Carson-Dellosa\, Chuckwalla\, Capstone Press\, and Book Industry Study Group.
