Sete-vinte-oito: processo editorial de publicação independente

Abstract

This experimental project consists of the independent publication of a poetry book, written and edited by the students, in order to verify the possibilities of producing a work without the intermediary of a publishing house. Through the work, we try to reflect on the benefits and difficulties of performing all the stages of the production chain of a book in an autonomous way, from the creative writing to the printing of the work. In addition, we also seek to place the role of the author and editor in this publication model, reflecting on their joint and individual roles. Sete-vinte-oito breaks the concept of self-publishing, because there is an editor working with the author, and also does not fit into traditional publishing, because there is no publishing house.
