Books are everything social media is not: composed and consumed in
solitude, written and read at leisure, conceived and bought as blocks.
Yet authors are increasingly using tweets, apps, videos, blogs,
wikis, mash-ups and fanpages to reach far beyond the book's binding.
And readers are using services like GoodReads, Kindle, Fanfiction and
Librarything to socialize their reading.
Join four authors as they discuss how social media is
transforming the experience of writing, reading and promoting books --
and what the changes may mean for authors, readers and publishers.
Panelists Include:
* Steven B. Johnson, author of Where Good Ideas Come From @stevenbjohnson
*
Maud Newton, book pundit and nascent novelist @maudnewton
* Lenore
Skenazi, author of Free Range Kids @freerangekids
*
Clive Thompson, New York Times Magazine writer and Wired columnist
with book in progress @pomeranian99
* Henry
Copeland, moderator, CEO Blogads.com @hc
