Resurrected last year after a four-year hiatus, Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's (ECPA) Publishing University (PUBu) will again convene in the fall.

The educational and networking gathering for those who work in Christian publishing will be held Oct. 21-22 at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill. Like 2012's event, PUBu13 will not have an overall theme, but its "four communities" will again focus on marketing, editorial, rights and licensing, and production and design.

Managed by InterVarsity Press Rights Director Ellen Hsu, the rights and licensing sessions include: Acquiring Publishing Rights for a Global Market; Forces that Drive Content: Copyright and Technology in the Next Wave of Publishing; Developments in Key Translation Markets; and Marketing Strategies: Making the Most of the Rights You Control.

PUBu13 will feature additional sessions in marketing, editorial and production and design. Winners of the ECPA Top Shelf Awards, previously called the ECPA/Dickinson Press Book Cover Award program, are also scheduled to be announced at event.

Citing economic turbulence in the Christian product industry, ECPA moved PUBu from a physical event to multiple online webinars in 2009. PUBu12 drew 195 attendees.
