As part of the IBPA’s Publishing University set for May 24-25 in New York, the heads of four houses that made PW’s fast-growing small publishers list in 2010 will discuss the strategies that allowed them to grow during a recession. Moderated by Tom Woll of Cross River Publishing Consultants, the session will feature David Borgenicht, Quirk Books; Rudy Shur, Square One Publishers; David Hancock, Morgan James Publishing; and Harriet Ziefert of Blue Apple Books. The program is part of IBPA Publishing University’s “Growing Your Business” track of sessions created for more experienced publishers poised for expansion.

Other tracks in IBPA’s Publishing University include Getting Started for those new to publishing, and Making a Living for those who have been in business for several years. There will be more than 20 break-out sessions and a keynote speech by best-selling author Seth Godin, and an opening day kickoff address by Dominique Raccah of Sourcebooks.
