Book Bloggers Panel

Book Bloggers: Five book bloggers expose their tricks of the trade For some years now, readers, writers, publicists, editors, and agents alike have noticed the influence book bloggers have on book trends. These bloggers will discuss how they choose which books to review, acquire pre-publication copies of books, decide the structure of their blogs, and how to express their opinions truthfully, yet tactfully. They’ll also recommend a few of their own favorite reading picks to you, and answer questions about creating and maintaining a successful blog. Join Marie Cloutier (Boston Bibliophile), Kevin Cooney (Boston Book Bums), Dawn Rennert (She is Too Fond of Books), Sarah Rettger (Archimedes Forgets) and Therese Walsh (Writer Unboxed) for a lively discussion moderated by the fabulous Hank Phillippi Ryan. Full bios are available at http://www.salemlitfest.com/authors. Event to be held at the Salem Athenæum, 337 Essex Street, Salem.
