Louise Baird-Smith is a publisher at Bloomsbury Visual Arts, managing and commissioning for the academic design book list. The list includes books on a range of design topics — from typography and product design, to service design and, of course, illustration — and it publishes books for students, scholars, and practitioners. Baird-Smith has worked in publishing for nearly 15 years.
Specifically focused on academic book projects (those for students, scholars or practitioners), this interactive workshop session will include tips and advice on framing book proposals, how to choose a publisher, what to consider when developing your ideas and time for questions. The event will showcase real-life examples, and there will be activities for participants to get involved in.
