SUMMARY:In-Person Event: What I Wish Other Departments Knew About My Job
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for MBPR’s May in-person luncheon\, What I Wish Other Departments Knew About My Job. \nCreating a book is highly collaborative\, but many jobs focus on just one part of the process. Title planning\, sales\, and marketing can feel mysterious to those in production\, and vice versa. Yet understanding these other roles can be key to producing quality products and improving efficiency. Join MBPR for a peek behind the curtain at different parts of the publishing process and tips for improving collaboration at each step along the way. \nThe panel discussion will be followed by a brief Q&A. This session will be recorded and shared with those who register. \nAbout the Panelists \nElizabeth Dingmann Schneider has 20 years of experience in children’s educational publishing.
