Happy New Year, and welcome to SEASON 5!

It’s no secret that we are very interested in the publishing process here on The Modern Scholar Podcast, and I am very excited for today’s episode because we have an opportunity to explore a very interesting and very important part of that process—cover design. I have Scott Levine and William Oates with me today—Scott is the art director and William is a graphic designer, both at Cornell University Press. They are going to take us behind the scenes today, to help us all learn a little bit more about how the wonderful cover on your favorite book is designed and produced.
