Today's Publishing Pathways: A Guide for Editors to Help Their Clients

As an editor, what are the first questions you ask a new or prospective client? Veteran editor and publishing consultant Jude Berman suggests that, with most clients in our ever-evolving environment of 2024, you may want to begin by asking, "What are your publishing goals/plans?"

In this forum, Jude will walk us through the new map for the publishing industry created by the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), with an eye to how knowing this comprehensive model can guide you in your work with writers. We will discuss what can go wrong when you don't address publishing goals up front, as well as how to calm clients bewildered by the maze of publishing options.
