Reminder: How Book Reviews Really Work— TODAY!
Have you always wondered about how books are selected for review? Us too. This afternoon, at 1 p.m. ET, Lee Gutkind will speak with Booklist editor-in-chief, Donna Seaman, about exactly that. Join us!
First things first. We like to kick our Fridays off by sharing our #WeeklyWins, writing-related accomplishments, big or small, from the week. We’d love to hear from you about what you got into the past couple of days, whether it be pitching, editing, reading or something else. Head here to share.
And before you break for the weekend, please join us on this late July summer Friday for an Open Book live video conversation. Today at 1 p.m. ET, Lee Gutkind will speak with Donna Seaman, editor-in-chief of Booklist, for a special session on How Book Reviews Really Work. They’ll talk about how books are selected for review, what editors are looking for, the current landscape of literary criticism and more.
Again, please join us live, today, Friday, July 31, at 1:00 p.m. ET on Zoom.
