Jain Lemos - Photography Publishing Consultant joins Inside Digital Photo with some tips and insights about how to develop documentary and book projects for photographers. Jain, whose broad background also includes her own photography work, has extensive experience representing photographers to publishing companies and shares some ideas on how to pitch your book concept. Most publishing companies are less concerned about the overall look of the book than they are with information about the market’s demand and audience for the image topics.

Jain explains that photographers should first ask themselves "What is the marketability of the concept and topics of the book?". Many times this is overlooked in addition to the amount of time the concept will take to actually hit the shelves so overall shelflife of the topics are also critical to a book’s success. Jain encourages photographers to contact her with your idea for some feedback before embarking on the project. Jain describes her rates and some of the benefits of working with her to bring your vision to fruition.
