Sessions will cover the following topics: list building (defining your niche, building in new areas quickly, pb reprints & co-pubs, and book series), title budgets (from the P & L to the pub plan), contracts (royalties & advances, subsidiary rights, and digital rights issues), the publishing process (peer review, working with support staff, the editorial board), ethics and competition with other presses, communications with in-house colleagues (especially working with marketing), and managing authors in the publishing partnership process.
