The final step to actualize your publication dream can also be one the most daunting; how to finance its publication? There are a huge number of publishers and publishing options today, nevertheless the most frequent request asked by a publisher once they like your project is how are YOU going to pay for it? The more complex the publishing project, the greater amount of up-front money is required, with publishers offering various means of support. The panel will share their individual publication journeys and how they were able to finance their respective publications. Through a Q+A with audience members, experience and suggestions will be shared on successful tactics of fundraising.This is a FREE event. Registration is required to reserve your spot and receive event reminders.

About scott b. davisSince the 1990’s scott b. davis has made photographs that explore unremarkable wilderness corridors and anonymous urban spaces in the American landscape.

His work with large format wooden view cameras (4”x5” up to 16”x20”) facilitates working slowly and affords large-scale negatives used for platinum printing. scott b. davis is the founder and Executive Director of Medium Photo.Discover his work on Instagram @scott_b_davis
