Write to Publish 2020
Write to Publish is a one-day event dedicated to publishing in all its forms. It operates as both a fundraising opportunity for the Book Publishing program, an open house, and a local publishing conference for writers.
Our goal with this year’s conference was to take a snapshot of the industry as it is now and to bring together current industry professionals and publishing students to exchange knowledge and spark moments of innovation. This year’s conference theme was “The Many Faces of Publishing,” as we hoped to highlight the diverse publishing options that are now available to writers.
If you would like to view the work we did on the branding for the conference please view the section of my website focusing on this project.
