Tom Reynolds and Friday Publishing

Posted by Michael in Project organisation at May 16th, 2008

This project sought to show that open approaches to intellectual property are a viable and exciting option for practitioners working in the creative industries. Our case study of Tom Reynolds and Friday Publishing shows the many benefits associated with applying open in the publishing industry.


The recordings below were made in March 2008 and feature Tom in discussion with Suw Charman and our seminar attendees. Tom explains how and why the open approach worked so well for his first novel.
