Author Biography
Laura Damon-Moore is a graduate student in the School of Library & Information Studies at UW-Madison, set to receive her degree in May 2012. She has worked for Parallel Press and as a communications assistant at the UW-Madison Libraries since June 2010. Laura is the Youth Services Librarian for the Edgerton Public Library in Edgerton, Wisconsin, and is a co-founder and project manager for the Library as Incubator Project, an organization that promotes and facilitates connections between writers, artists, performers, and libraries.
Representatives of five Wisconsin presses will speak about their missions, philosophies and processes of publishing from selection to final draft. You’ll learn how authors are chosen (or turned down). You’ll discover the press’ obligation to author and the author’s obligation to the press from money to marketing to mailing out books.
This session will be facilitated by Karla Huston. Participants include:
