On Publishing Practice

On Publishing Practice is a collection of brief essays, reflections, and occasional ramblings by Daud Sihombing drawn from nearly a decade of navigating the world of publishing. Written from a deeply personal yet critically grounded perspective, he reflects on his own experiences and convictions while inviting following contributors to respond with their own insights, feedback, and even counterarguments. The result is a layered dialogue, enriched by diverse practices and regional contexts.

Part reflection and part call for conversation, On Publishing Practice explores themes ranging from authorship to the rise of art book fairs. It offers no definitive answers, only a space for questioning, reconsidering, and reimagining what publishing can be.
