We are excited to announce the details of our online conference on experimental publishing practices taking place over two afternoons on Wednesday 8 April (14:30–16:30 BST) and Thursday 9 April (14:00–17:30 BST).
Centring on three experimental book pilot projects supported by Copim’s Experimental Publishing Group over the past few years, the conference will bring together publishers, authors, platform providers, and invited keynote speakers to reflect on current practices that challenge and reimagine the production and possible futures of scholarly books.
