The Baie des Anges publishing house and the Artists’ Chaplaincy, with the involvement of the Louis Nucéra Library, are organizing a conference titled “Writing and Publishing” on Friday, January 21st.
Nowadays, there are more and more self-published books. The role of the publisher remains essential: selecting a text, finding it an appropriate medium, making it accessible while ensuring the promotion of both it and its author.
In addition, there’s the question of writing, then the book and digital dissemination, which presents many advantages, though the physical book still retains much of its charm.
Writers, books, and their publication will thus be the focus of attention during this conference.
Day’s Schedule:
- 10am Public reception.
- 10:30am “History and Future of the Book” with Yves-Marie Lequin.
- 11am “Why an Author? The Craft of Writing Today” with Olympia Alberti (poet, writer).
