Design and Production of an Editorial Project

You will begin to know John, his career, his most important works and his influences. It will talk about the book industry and, more specifically, the world of LIJ (children's and young people's literature).

The next lesson will focus on the editorial pre-production, conceptual stage of the production of a book, in which viable ideas are generated - and others not so much - for the creation of a book.

You will then learn about the editorial production, establishing chronograms with the different actors within the production of a book: writers, illustrators, various artists and even legal and financial experts.

Finished this process you will have what John calls a "macho", which is nothing more than a prototype of your book in its pre-mass printing phase. Then you will learn about the different production techniques, printing finishes and printing generalities offset .

In the final part of the course, you will learn about publishing post-production, that is, the life of a book when it has already left the printing press. You will learn about distribution models in stores and promotion in the media, focusing on the world of children's and young people's literature.
