@ClaireSquires and I presented on canapés and sustainability at #IndPubConf, one of the best conferences of any year - thanks to the organisers and the engaged audience for very on-point questions at this early Australian/late UK hour
The one of a kind, brilliant researcher @ChristinaNwrth is talking about Scottish literary festivals in the last panel of #indpubcon research day. But it’s exclusive so soz if you’re not here, no tweeting for you.
The keynote for this year’s #indpubcon was @ClaireSquires who presented four ‘compass points’ to help orient the relationship between publishing studies as an academic discipline and publishing practitioners: geographies, epistemologies, responsibilities and imaginaries.
‘In the shift from bound scrolls to digital scrolling and from print books to audiobooks, the book has always been an inherently mutable form’ @SlmLayton#indpubcon
This is something I understand! Digital bookish communities, cool vein of research @Millicent_Weber would be interested to hear more about this, esp as more and more of our daily reading is digitally based and more and more communities are formed through online means #indpubcon
