Co-publishing as a valuable strategy for independent publishers to collaborate

Recently Weaver Books (Zimbabwe), Modjaji Books (South Africa), and Spinifex Press (Australia) collaborated on a book project. Because of this collaboration, we thought that a panel where we considered collaboration and co-publishing in more depth would be valuable as part of Babelica.

The process of co-publishing potentially has benefits to all parties and is a way of making an author's work travel further and to new readers in more countries. The publishers at these presses, Susan Hawthorne and Jessica Powers from Catalyst Press, will share their experiences of co-publishing and look at the benefits and challenges.
