P0: Publisher Presentation
To expand our awareness and horizons of contemporary-independent-publishing activity, in groups of 2, create a short (~10 min) presentation on a publisher of your choice. This publisher can be online, publish physical media, or be somewhere in between. Think creatively about what qualifies someone as a publisher!
In your presentation, make sure to cover the following:
- A general background of the publisher
- An overview of the themes, topics, and driving forces behind their output
- Highlight a few of their titles / posts / published material and share your opinion on them
Once you've found your partner, and decided on who you will present on, add your name to the calendar here.
