ONLINE: Book Smart: The Future of Publishing

A pandemic-forced quarantine provided another good reminder of the importance of books in our lives, but well before COVID-19 struck, the book industry appeared resilient in the face of cultural and technological trends that have so disrupted other media and entertainment forms. What’s next for the book industry, and what does the future hold for the relationship between readers, authors and compelling storytelling? Join us Thursday, June 11 for less than an hour at 4 p.m. EDT to discuss the post-pandemic future of books.
