I'm another STC Lone Writer refugee. I've been in the printing and publishing industry for over 30 years (God, how I hate to admit it). So, I've had the pleasure of watching the industry change from hot type to direct-to-plate.
Today, I spend most of my time designing books (mostly textbooks) and managing our digital printing business that specializes in short-run print-on-demand books (think B2B Kinko's on steroids). Our client base is corporate trainers, college professors, college bookstores, and a few self-published authors. We have a brand new program that teaches K-12 educators how to coach creative writing--which is very different than teaching English. We have a new program that is designed to bridge the literacy gap by introducing writing for pleasure to very young children, then taking their best effort writing through the entire publishing cycle (writing, editing, design, marketing, production) to produce short-run classroom anthologies that bring the real world working environment into the classroom. It's VERY cool! If you think you would like to volunteer in a classroom, or sponsor this program in a classroom, please feel free to call. I'm looking forward to being a member of this discussion group. Teresa Trujillo Book Workshop/Mighty Designs 1501 E.
