Synchronous (Session) Teacher Development Panel (75 min.)
Publishing with a Small Press
As traditional publishers have moved more towards global coursebooks and series, a wave of small presses have appeared, with an interest in innovative, experimental, or niche titles. This panel features a variety of authors from Wayzgoose Press talking about their different paths to publication and why they chose a small press over a larger publisher or self-publishing. We’ll also talk about what kinds of projects are best suited for a small press and how to approach one with your own ideas. MYSTERY EASTER EGG

I taught English, French, and Japanese for over 18 years in Asia, Africa, and the US. I have an MA in TESL from the School for International Training in Vermont, USA. Now I concentrate on writing and editing ELT textbooks and conducting teacher training workshops. I also run a small press that publishes (among other things) ELT materials for both students and teachers. My areas of specialty and interest include teaching writing, teaching reading, academic English, testing, and humor.
