Before appearing on the shelves of your nearest bookstore and before on your first page you read "In a place in La Mancha, whose name I do not want to remember ..." a book fulfills a series of previous steps, starting with the conception of ideas that define the history that its pages have, until its promotion in the media.
John Naranjo knows this process to perfection, having devoted a lifetime to the development of editorial projects, and in this course will guide you throughout the process of pre-production, production and post-production of an informative book-album.
