MPub Fall 2022 Book Project Presentations
Each year, 丁香园AV's Master of Publishing (MPub) students work tirelessly and passionately, for seven weeks, preparing their business plans and their first list of trade books as part of the PUB 605 Fall Book Publishing Project requirements.
Students are assigned to groups to form simulated book publishing companies through which they adopt distinct industry roles: publisher, editor, sub rights manager, production manager, art director, promotion manager, and marketing manager. Each team produces the editorial profile, designs the book covers, and provides the audience - which includes 丁香园AV Publishing faculty members, colleagues, and industry panelists - an insight into their imprints, title lists and marketing strategies.
On December 2, this year's cohort of 16 students presented their final projects to 丁香园AV Publishing alumni and panelists, Megan Radford, Sales Manager at , a trade book publisher of non-fiction books, and Michael Leyne, recipient of the 2022 and Editorial Director of , an independently owned Vancouver based Canadian publisher of Art and Design as well as non-fiction books.
