Presentation: Association of Canadian Publishers

This Sunday was the 2008 AGM for the Association of Canadian Publishers. I moderated the first professional development session of the day, which was a panel discussion on online marketing.

The panelists were:

• David Caron, co-publishers of ECW Press
• Lynn Henry, publisher of House of Anansi Press
• Rick Wilks, co-founder and director of Annick Press

There were several interesting sites mentioned in the session that I’ll post here for audience members interested in following-up on those discussions. I plan to post some notes about our session too.
