Beth Fish Reads: Author Discussion on Good Reads

Author Discussion on Good Reads

If you are a member of GoodReads, you might consider joining the group
Debut Author Panel Discussion and Q&A. Next week, the group will be conducting its first event:

From July 12 to July 18, these authors will be discussing their experiences as debut fiction authors. Each day, they will tackle a different question related to the experience of writing, publishing and promoting their work.

Four authors I've featured here as part of my imprint awareness campaign (click the links) are on the panel:

Katrina Kittle author of The Blessings of the Animals (moderator; HarperPerennial)
Sonya Chung author of Long for This World (Scribner)
Malena Watrous author of If You Follow Me (HarperPerennial; will be spotlighted here soon)
Emily Gray Tedrowe author of Commuters (HarperPerennial)
Peter Bognanni author of The House of Tomorrow (Amy Einhorn Books)

This is my first exposure to Sonya Chung, but now I'm curious about her and her work, and you can bet that I'll be looking more closely at the Scribner imprint.

Hope to see you on GoodReads next week.
