Great episode! Thanks @nickbarreto, now I'm going down the Pandoc rabbit hole ;) My employer has quite the back list in Word that we are sending out for ebook conversion, but with this I think I could do them in-house. Wow, this feels like relearning #eprdctn all over again.

To my immense surprise, some of the techy geeky nerdy publishing stuff we do @canelo_co is actually somewhat interesting. Or at least it sounds it from this short podcast, provided you're into that kind of thing. Nice shoutouts for @has_many_books/@consonance_app and others
New episode, with @nickbarreto! When we create machines to handle the drudgery of book-making, we free up our brains for more creative work. howbooksaremade.com/episodes…

My fav discovery prepping this episode was that @nickbarreto and @has_many_books once worked together. 'What you gonna being doing in ten years, Emma?' 'Um, was thinking maybe revolutionising publishing workflows.' 'Yeah, me too. Tea?' howbooksaremade.com/episodes…

It was great talking publishing with @dwilk on @writerscast recently: modern workflows, pandemic challenges, giving away 1m children's books with @bookdash, and lessons from @paperight, my once-upon-a-time POD dream. writerscast.com/publishing-t…

Right before the holidays we recorded a #podcast for How Books Are Made series by @arthurattwell at @bookdash & @electricbook. We talked about how #booksprints helps teams to #collaborate and produce a finished #book from zero. Great way to end the year! howbooksaremade.com/episodes…

Do listen to this podcast! Of course I’m an interested party re episode 7 but it’s a great listen and distills how smart tech (eg @jellybooks) + publishing can gather new insights, and work in new ways.
After a little break, we're back with episode 7: I speak to @arhomberg, founder of Jelly Books, about measuring what readers think of a new book before it's published, and what that means for your marketing campaigns. share.transistor.fm/s/a9fe34…

I have just finished listening, and it was great! Will be required listening for my design and production students.

This is an excellent podcast, if books are your thing
Episode 5! Publishers have power and cultural cachet, but they are still just people, and it helps to understand the decisions and trade-offs they make. So, meet Jeremy Boraine, publishing director at @JonathanBallPub. share.transistor.fm/s/311081… 1/2
