Publishing: A Gentlemen's Industry

Picture
Equal opportunity aside, we'll proudly claim the integrity this implies. Publishers are still positioned at the intersection of creativity and business, and a commitment to the content drives many of us to serve the profession for life.

And yet, increasingly, success in publishing involves getting our hands dirty. In a changing marketplace, it means consideration of new formats, distribution methods, data, and partnerships. It means learning from other industries, taking risks, and engaging the expertise of other companies when hiring in-house talent is not feasible. It means admitting that some of our old standbys are left standing by in the face of change.

Twenty years ago, job titles and job descriptions across publishers were remarkably similar. There were key skills, and mastery of these led to respect and reward. When the landscape changed, however, many of us adapted through meaningful partnerships. We investigated new business models, expanded our core competencies, and challenged our vendors to provide new services. We learned about the technologies our customers embraced. We found new customers.

The NEPCo Awards celebrates this agile and open-minded approach to unprecedented change. To educate our members who are new to the industry, and to reward those who have achieved through meaningful relationships with partners, Bookbuilders presents this timely event.
