关于我们

The American Book Producers Association was founded in 1980 as the trade association for independent book producers, also called packagers, in the United States and Canada. Members of this rapidly growing profession produce, from concept through bound books, a wide variety of titles for trade and other publishers. For nearly 40 years the ABPA has supported and promoted the crucial work of book producers in the publishing industry. Because packagers usually work behind the scenes, educating people about what we do is integral to our mission. Most book producers have worked in the publishing industry for years and are knowledgeable about every aspect of the publishing process. Producers are generalists within the industry whose daily jobs deal with editing, design, marketing, contracts, finance, printing, and many other functions. They have a keen sense for the demands of the marketplace and are savvy about what is technically feasible. Book packagers can handle every stage of the publishing process and be counted on to deliver a product on schedule and with the highest level of professionalism.

  • Generative AI tools are already being used to write, edit, and even design books. But publishers are now turning to AI for everything from title and concept ideation to developing in-depth marketing plans. What does all this mean for the future of publishing, and how might it impact book producers of all stripes? More importantly, how can book producers use AI to help grow their own businesses in the future? We’ll delve into this fascinating topic with author, publishing industry consultant, and contributing editor to Publishers Weekly Thad McIlroy, in a conversation led by ABPA member Kirk Kazanjian, President and Editorial Director of Literary Productions. We will also leave plenty of time for you to share your own experiences in using AI and to ask Thad questions about how to apply artificial intelligence in your own business. ?
