Know More: Publishers, Publishing Companies, Writing Resources 2.0, Writing Resources

ThePublishingSpot reader Lara Kordic sent me a link today. Over at the Simon Fraser University Vancouver, the Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing has put out a brand new book-- a comprehensive look at the publishing industry. From building dictionaries to publishing in China, this book has it all.

The book is co-written by members of a publishing think-tank at the university, a group dedicated to setting out best practices for publishing. I admire anybody trying to start something from scratch, from this blog to Canadian university programs. Fledgling projects like ours won't always come up with the most elegant solution, but we always come up with the most innovative ideas.

Go therefore, and read the book...

Jason, this was especially interesting to me since I taught at UBC in Vancouver, not far away from Simon Fraser U. What an innovative idea in BC -- and what innovation we have here in blogs like yours.

You come away from this read with hope for those of us who'd like to make a difference with a circle of like minded people. Thanks!
