June 26, 6:30 - 8 pm | Up Front with Emmy Ezzell
You’re writing for publication, seeking a publisher, planning to self-publish, or something else. Creating good files up front can make you look more professional, pave the way for effective editing and design, attract a publisher, and produce well-formatted print files. You don't have to be the editor, designer, marketer (though you may be). But understanding enough about those tasks can help position yourself for success. You’ll get a brief introduction to resources and a reference list, hear cautionary tales from 45 years of book design and production, and have a chance to ask thorny questions.
Emmy Ezzell is a native Texan, but has lived in Oklahoma 6 years (the first time) and another 19 years the second time. Her daughter Sarah Atlee is an OKC fiber artist and painter, and her little dog, Flower, helps out at Literati as a Bookshop Dog.
Emmy spent her professional life designing and producing books for University Presses in New Mexico, Indiana, and Oklahoma, thereby accumulating a vast store of esoteric trivia. She is enjoying learning the other side of the book business, and also enjoying the ringside seat for Literati Press's new venture, the Creative Writing Center.
