canon tales: promoting creatvity in publishing

CANON TALES provides a new visual perspective on the richly creative industry that is UK publishing: the personal and professional stories behind books.

We are inviting 12 speakers to each present a 'canon tale' to the backdrop of

20 images projected behind them,
