Technicast with Stephen Ashley

For the month of August, our guest is Stephen Ashley. Stephen is the Teen Engagement Coordinator at the Chapel Hill Public Library, a position he has held since 2015. Before working at the Chapel Hill Public Library, he worked at Algonquin Books, a press based in Chapel Hill, as the publishing coordinator. Today we will be talking to him about what it’s like to move from working at the beginning of the publishing process, manuscript submission, to the end, distributing books to the public.
