Moderation: Rebecca Wilton, curator, artist and author, program manager for photography at Distanz Verlag.

Most photographers aim to publish their own photobook, but how should they proceed? How do you write to publishers and how do they deal with requests? How is a book financed, produced and distributed, and what difficulties can arise? We would like to find answers in this panel.

With:
Grzegorz Kosmala, founder of BLOW UP PRESS, a publishing house specialising in photobooks and lens-based art books and manager of all operations from marketing and finances to distribution.
Jan Stradtmann, artist with a focus on photography, working on the realization of collective photobook projects. Linda Zhengová, curator, photographer and author of several photobooks, editor at Discarded, ExtraExtra and the photo magazine GUP. (text: Leipzig Photobook Festival)
