Give the Gift Panel Discussion: “Whoever controls the media, controls the mind!†— Jim Morrison We're bringing together publishing professionals and media trailblazers to discuss the truth about what it takes to create a bestseller and what it takes to promote it in the digital age. During this panel discussion media representatives and authors will also share their thoughts on the impact created by organized review teams, book clubs and popular bloggers. We will discuss how books open our world and book clubs can open our universe! FEATURED AUTHORS AND SPEAKERS * Linda A.
