Description
Panelists: Beth Revis, Ben Schrank A new generation of authors are making themselves accessible to readers like never before: through social media. Fans can have a Twitter conversation, get questions answered on Tumblr, access exclusive updates on Facebook and read candid, personal blogs from their favorite authors. Aspiring writers are building a following on social media before querying agents and publishers, using a foundation of online followers as a springboard to a book deal. Join Quill Track panelists for a discussion of the new frontier of author-reader-fan relations.
