Reaching Readers Online

Just a quick note - I’ve been asked to take part in a panel as part of The Bookseller’s (nice new site by the way, although the links in their emails and all my old links don’t work) half day digital seminar, called Reaching Readers Online.

I’m on a panel chaired by Bebo’s new UK MD Shaa Wasmund
, who apparently runs a very tight ship, along with:

• FutureFoundation’s Barry Clark (whom I worked with when he was at HC looking after the Tolkein list)
• lit blog and publishing hero Mark Thwaite, who runs Ready Steady Book and the Book Depository (although I don’t think he’s the same guy that used to be in the Mission and played on Tricky’s albums - Mark?)
• Kathryn Hellewell from Vue Cinemas

We’ll be talking about “Recognising new routes to readers”, with the following focus:

• Where are consumers spending their time online?
• How much potential is there for book marketing?
• Who are the most influential books bloggers?
• How can publishers influence them?

as well as us, HarperCollins’ Shiona McDougall will be giving a presentation. All on her own.

The whole afternoon should be interesting if you’re in publishing and read this blog…
