Stefanie Klavens
 Stefanie Klavens, I Really Try..., 2003.
Stefanie Klavens' photographs encourage deeper thought into subject matter often taken for granted: historic single-screen movie palaces, disappearing drive-in theaters, and the quirky individuality displayed in private homes and small mom-and-pop places of business.

WORKSHOP
Publishing a Photography Book with Harvey Stein
Saturday, April 21, 2012, 9:00 - 5:00 pm BU College of Arts and Sciences, Room 220, 685 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston $50 General Public / $40 Members - Morning Session Only (limited to 40 participants) $125 General Public / $110 Members - Morning and Afternoon Session Combination (limited to 10 participants only)
Only 1 slot left for the full day workshop, but plenty of morning session slots are still open!
Have you ever thought about publishing a book of photographs? Maybe you have a concept in mind or a body of work to support your concept. Maybe you have only a vague idea for a photobook. Or maybe you have a "someday" wish to do a book but no real project yet. This workshop will help you shape your ideas, conceive and explore a concept, and determine the best approach to make a publisher take notice. Harvey Stein offers a nuts-and-bolts analysis of the steps necessary to contact publishers successfully and what to do when they say yes. Topics covered include: * generating book ideas * writing the book proposal * identifying potential publishers * criteria publishers use to evaluate proposals * what to present to the publisher (and in what form) * when to create a book dummy * the pros and cons of using a book agent * ways to sequence the photographs * negotiating the contract to maximize advances and royalties * working with printers * book distribution Harvey will also offer advice for publicizing your book through exhibitions, self-promotion and advertising. Finally, the effect of the digital revolution on making books will be discussed. |
