good lord j.c. i hope things like this can fly.

from their page:

“Publication Studio is a laboratory for publication in its fullest sense—not just the production of books, but the production of a public who cares about them. This public, which is more than a market, is created through deliberate acts: the production and circulation of texts; discussions and gatherings in physical space; and the maintenance of a related digital commons. Together these construct a common space of conversation, a public space, which beckons a public into being. This is publication in its fullest sense.”
