Doppiozero is a group of authors, editors, critics, scholars... working together for the future of publishing. It is also a website, a newsroom and an on line bookstore.
It aims to defend and to enlarge knowledge democracy, to give space to new voices, to contribute to social and cultural Italian improvements, "to save the past while going towards the future".
They recognize the potential of new technologies for editors and thus they aim to transform a publishing house into an intelligences hub, a meeting space, a collective mind thinking of books not just as potential sales but, instead, as potential critical contents.
On Doppiozero website, you can look for books, collective projects, dossier on news, columns held by authors, poets and artists, anthologies, comments ...
Among their projects:
_ 5x10 5 parole per un decennio

_ 00serialtw
