An Insider's Look at Book Publicity: Essential Tips from Publishing's Publicists

Have you ever wondered how to break into literary publicity as a career path? Or how publicists "break out" a book to reach the widest audience possible? Or how to work best with one to promote your project as an author or other creative professional? As part of the New York Center for Independent Publishing's 20th Annual Independent and Small Press Book Fair, Jean Anne Rose of Pocket Books moderates a panel discussion on new trends in innovative publicity, contemporary publishing and more, including practical tips and creative solutions for authors and writers, featuring Terrie Akers of Other Press, independent publicist Lauren Cerand, Kristin Dwyer of Simon Spotlight (Simon & Schuster), and Sarah Reidy of Soho Press.
