Grateful to @dawnd.bsky.social for this report from PPS. It was a great kick-off for what will be an annual publishing event here in the Southeast.
Today, @dawnd.bsky.social of #FeedingTheElephant writes about attending the Piedmont Publishing Symposium. How can regional symposia build community among authors, publishers, and librarians? How might #AI and #OA affect these groups? Read Dawn's report for more!
