This panel brings together publishing professionals who will discuss different areas of marketing—publicity and social media\, metadata and digital marketing\, and sales and distribution—from a university press perspective. Panelists will also highlight how authors can be involved in each of these areas. \nRegister here. \nMeet the Press\nOctober 29 | 4:00pm–4:30pm EST \nAll Publishing Symposium attendees are invited to participate in this informal networking and Q&A session.
