Manager Monday: Editing the Gamut (Editing)

As young Oolies, we typically cut our teeth as members of a book project team. From week to week, depending on where the book is in the production cycle, our responsibilities might differ widely and utilize a full range of publishing skills, such as editing, design, and lots of marketing research and outreach. Often this […]

Imagine thousands of people, standing, […]

Lynn Darroch: Something in the Water

“Maybe it’s something in the water,” I said, as a joke at first. But as I thought about it, I began to realize that maybe it is all the water around here that makes jazz from the Pacific Northwest as distinct as its landscape and culture. That was the starting point, anyway, for Rhythm in […]
