The do-it-yourself movement in arts and crafts\u2014accelerated by the wide availability of sophisticated digital technology, as well as access to information, and people, through the internet\u2014 is creating a boon in one very key area: Self-publishing. “Once referred to derisively as ‘vanity publishing,’ self-published books are finally taking their place alongside more accepted indie categories such as music, film, and theater.”<\/p>\n

So says Ellen Lupton, director of the Graphic Design MFA program at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, and author of the new book, Indie Publishing: How to Design and Produce Your Own Book<\/a><\/em>, a step-by-step guide to being your own publisher.<\/p>\n

Ellen Lupton is a guest today on my WBAI-NY \/ 99.5 FM radio show, NONFICTION, this afternoon, Friday, April 24, at 2 pm ET.<\/p>\n

As well, composer Jeff Snyder’s band, Scattershot<\/a>, has remix credits with Public Enemy, among others, and they created and performed the opening and closing themes for NONFICTION. Today, he’s stopping by to discuss his latest passion: Inventing his own musical instruments. He’ll be showing and playing two of them, the Manta and the Countervielles.<\/p>\n

You can hear Ellen Lupton and Jeff Snyder’s ideas\u2014and Jeff’s music!\u2014by tuning in at 2 pm. If you’re outside of the New York tri-state, check out our stream<\/a> on the web.
