Transmit Culture: Entrepreneurship in the Book Business

PSU - Fariborz Maseeh Hall 1855 SW Broadway, Portland

Ninety-nine percent of all businesses in the US are small businesses. From freelance publishing services (marketing, design, editing, etc.) to independent publishers and bookstores, entrepreneurs and the businesses they start are the heart of the publishing industry. In this panel of book publishing entrepreneurs, the presenters will discuss how they forged their own paths, built book businesses on their own terms, acquired capital, developed business plans, and overcame entrepreneurial challenges.
