Hi gang,
There is a full-time Bookshare employee who is our Publisher Liaison. Her job
is to work with publishers in a variety of ways, one of which is to request
books from them. My opinion is that her most important function is to explain
what Bookshare is to them, how it will not affect their sales in a negative
way, etc.
I would guess that Dolphin Press is on her list of publishers to contact, but
her main focus right now is on the big publishers, like Harper Collins,
Scholastic, Hachette, etc. Her efforts have resulted in a stream of books from
publishers, which will eventually number in the tens of thousands. She's very
good at her job! We're quite lucky to have her.
HTH, Carrie

I wonder if there is a process in place to request submissions from the
publishers. Otherwise there are likely to be publishers out there that have
either not heard of Bookshare or if they have then it has not occurred to them
to contribute.

I notice the founder of Dolphin Press is to be a guest on Books and Beyond.
Does anyone know if Dolphin Press is planning to contribute Publisher
Quality books to bookshare?
