SUMMARY:Virtual Coffee Chat: Editors with Disabilities/Chronic Illnesses
DESCRIPTION:This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nTopics for the online chat this Monday are currently open. If you have a conversation topic you would like to host (for this meeting or at a different day/time)\, please contact me! I also have a list of topics to bring to the meeting in case they are needed. \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.

SUMMARY:A Byte Sized History of Computer Typography with Ben Zotto
DESCRIPTION:This Letterform Lecture will take you on a whirlwind tour of bitmaps\, cathode rays\, and how type and computer technology have evolved together. This talk is part how-it-works and where-it-came-from\, and part love letter to what is inevitably lost to obsolescence. \nWhile print has often been the ultimate goal of “digital” typography\, there is a parallel story of type shown on screens – letters conjured up and discarded in real time. This talk will touch on the different ways letterforms have been produced on displays\, and how technology for print and technology for the screen eventually became the same thing. Fun topics include: the unique cathode ray aesthetic; the design of bitmap fonts; arcade and other games; how Bézier curves work; and tricks used to make small text legible. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Historical Black Publications Inspire Contemporary InDesign Projects
DESCRIPTION:Silas Munro and his company\, Polymode\, use InDesign and other modern tools of graphic design to create award-winning projects from book design to museum displays. But what animates him? What are his light bulb moments? How does he do it? \nNo easy answer\, of course. But among his influences are the rich lineages of publications representing many facets of Black life\, from the 1900–1919 Colored American Magazine to the iconic oeuvre of the Johnson Publishing Company’s Ebony and Jet. In this presentation\, Munro will explore a selection of significant Black publications from the 20th century through the design of their layouts into their cultural relevance. He will talk about how these histories inspire Polymode’s poetic research process when applied to book design and his work as a design historian.

SUMMARY:Book Design for Editors

SUMMARY:Linking the Past\, Forging the Future: Conservation of a Medieval Chained Binding
DESCRIPTION:In our digital age\, it’s hard to remember (or even believe) that books were once so rare and costly that they were kept chained to the shelves. But even chains cannot protect a centuries-old book from the wear of time–and many hands. When a chained medieval book in Stanford Libraries’ collection needed repair it took a group effort to conserve the book and create a model of this unusual binding structure that could stand in its place for use by scholars and researchers: a group at the intersection of scholarship\, conservation\, and craft. Join us for a virtual panel discussion with Kathleen Smith\, Aude Gabory\, and Karen Hanmer as they discuss their collaboration across disciplines; see the resulting facsimile\, and marvel at the thought\, art\, and skill that went into creating it.

SUMMARY:How to Sell More Books Using Metadata
DESCRIPTION:Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, Apple\, Kobo\, and Google Play all run on algorithms\, but each of them is different. Each provides their own tools to authors to help them become more visible to the right readers. But how is an author or small press to know what works best where? And how do you even decide whether to publish on one platform\, or “go wide” by publishing on many? Whatever you decide\, your metadata—the little details you enter in your book’s upload form—feeds the algorithm. In turn\, this can make or break the success of your book. \nUSA Today bestselling author and instructor Shelley Adina will take you through each retailer\, pointing out which algorithms work where\, and which tools are aimed at visibility for your books versus visibility for you\, the author or publisher. She will also talk briefly about selling direct on your website\, a strategy more and more authors are using for greater control of their business.
