Well, this is my last official MACE blog post. It’s crazy that I just started my course in September and it’s already June. My actual courses have ended, which means my workload is about to get quite a bit lighter. However, it also means that my class of international mates will be permanently broken up […]

4/18/2012. Day 3 and the last day of the 2012 London Book Fair. Lots to talk about. Lets start with my first seminar. Getting into Publishing. It was hosted by Society of Young Publishers (SYP). If you don’t know who they are, check them out here. They host events that allow those interested in, or […]
Day 2 (4/17/12). My day started late, well later than I wanted. I wanted to be at Earl’s Court by 9. I got there by 10. I missed a talk that I think would have been interesting. “Contract Copyright, Collaborate, and Communicate: The 4 C’s of successful publishing business models in the 21st century.” I’m […]
The London Book Fair (LBF) is the second largest book fair in the world. (Frankfurt is the largest). It’s held at Earl’s Court. I got a nice and early start to my day. I arrived at a little before 9 so that I could handle some badge issues. Then I was off. My first stop […]
Last week (Apr 11 & 15) teams Curpy and Flow made our first ventures to market fairs outside of KU. the marks we get for our businesses will be based on not how much money we make (since they’re not expecting us to make any), but on the effort we put into making money. We […]

So, my original post was deleted. But I am moving on. My team (Curpy) and I had a great time at both the fairs setup by our professor Dr. Beaumont. (go here for pics of both days: http://macekingston.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/trade-fair-photos/ ). At the market place trade fair we did really well. We won the 100 pounds prize […]
It’s been a long time, but I am back to my regularly scheduled blogging program. Sessions started back the beginning of this month and while I’ve had many great classes until now, the one that I found most interesting was the assignment we did this past Friday. Jerry Leisure – International Director for Compassion 2 One […]
One day, in my class Contemporary Issues and The Creative Economy, we had a guest speaker by the name of Paul Micklethwaite come and speak to us about “sustainability” and what it means for the creative/cultural industries. Of the industries that are the leading the way towards a sustainable future, publishing is one. Which is […]
Yesterday, I went to the Publishing Now conference. (The day before was the debate). The main focus of the this conference was how the industry is effected by the digitization of print media. As an author, it was good hear to what members of the publishing industry think about the future of their profession. And […]
