E-books aren’t just another publishing channel. Digital publishing presents great opportunities: more varied and comprehensive content than print and an expanded audience served by inclusive, accessible content. This recorded webinar series contains four one-hour recordings.
Editors are instrumental in creating robust e-books. All editorial functions, from acquisitions to copy editing to proofreading, have roles to play. Topics include:
- What is an e-book? An under-the-hood look at EPUB creation. Tools, methodologies, workflows.
- There’s no page count! Expand your concept of what to include: extended, interactive backmatter, hyperlinked endnotes and index, color images throughout, extended image descriptions.
- Make every e-book accessible. Plan these elements from acquisition: structure, book section identification, image descriptions, design choices.
- Talk to your colleagues. What does the designer need to hear? How can the production department help? What information does the e-book developer require?
This webinar series will give you a broad exposure to the possibilities and responsibilities of e-book development, as well as new areas of specialization to add to your résumé.
