The Authors
Giles Clark, with a family background in publishing, works at The Open University, Milton Keynes, where he is the Copublishing Adviser, Learning and Teaching Solutions. He organizes copublication arrangements between the University and a wide range of publishers from small to large, across most academic disciplines. The partnerships forged with commercial publishers extend the university’s readership internationally, reduce its costs and give it entrepreneurial income. In a private capacity, he chairs the Graham Greene Birthplace Trust in Berkhamsted and serves on other grant-aiding charities.
