Author, publisher: a return journey

Lluïsa Matarrodona and Margarita García Robayo in conversation with Daniella Sánchez Russo and Juan David Correa, moderated by Felipe Restrepo Pombo

Cartagena 2023, Friday 27 January 2023

Publishing has never been so easy: there are many companies that will print your book for a fee, eliminating the role of editor as filter and intermediary between the author and the reader, creating a false appearance of direct accessibility between the two parties. Publishing has never been so difficult: there are more authors and manuscripts and less awareness of what the role of an Editor (with a capital E) really is. The writers Margarita García Robayo and Daniella Sánchez Russo will talk to Lluïsa Matarrodona (Anagrama Publishing) and Juan David Correa (Planeta Publishing), with Felipe Restrepo Pombo as moderator.
