Emerging Leaders in Publishing Day 2 Highlights

We started the day with Stephen Collis, Poet and Professor at SFU; Kevin Hanson, President and Publisher at Simon & Schuster Canada to welcome our MPub students to the Emerging Leaders in Publishing Summit.

Next, we had Noah Genner, CEO & President of BookNet Canada to talk with our students about data in publishing and how the industry has been affected by COVID-19. Noah spoke about several topics such as bibliographic data, sales data, library circulation data, the Canadian book consumer survey, the Canadian leisure time and reading data, and ad-hoc surveys. Below are some images from his presentation.

 

Following Noah’s presentation, we invited Rania Husseini, Senior Vice President, Print at Indigo Books & Music; Cevin Bryerman, Executive and Publisher of Publishers Weekly, Noah Genner, and Kevin Hanson to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted the publishing industry and their respective workplaces. Specifically, they dived into subjects such as the challenges of the physical and online channels, how readers value diverse authors, supporting local authors, finding new ways for authors to engage with their readers, and etc.
