Scope: To discuss the processes involved in the life cycle of a book.
While this can be a vast topic, since authors are increasingly required to involve in all phases of publication, both breadth and depth of knowledge are essential for success.
In order to structure the conversation, we could categorize processes into: Creation, Pre-publication, Publication, Post-publication.
I've deliberately avoided clubbing the creative process with pre-publication since there is tremendous subjectivity with creative writing. And it is necessary to provide space to discuss all variations.
I assume there will be a lot of discussion about the influence of technology at every stage of the publishing process. And that's where some of the most actionable knowledge sharing could occur. Lest we muddle this thread, tools is a separate topic: barring references to tools aiding the publishing process, please discuss nuances of the tools on its own topic.
