Tuesday, 8 December, in the second seminar on The How of Publishing, we host Vijay Prashad, author, director of Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, chief editor of Leftword Books and chief correspondent at Globetrotter. A man of great enthusiasm and very many talents (Vijay might actually be a set of half a dozen identical clones) he will share a publishing model which projects the interests of the working people and movements for social transformation, and how they link the sales model with innovative ways to sell directly to those markets. What LeftWord does differently is to shape the extents of the books and their packaging to encourage bulk sales for their target audience.

Who should attend? 

Students of publishing, authors interested in what makes publishing work, anybody working for a publishing house who wants to expand their understanding, as well as those who dream of setting up their own publishing house.
