The Next Chapter: Navigating the Modern Book Publishing Landscape

Karen Chan, Angela Engel, Steve Wasserman, moderated by Brooke Warner

Community Meeting Room, 3rd floor

Come out for a vibrant panel discussion, moderated by Brooke Warner (She Writes Press), with three California book publishers, Karen Chan (Gloo Books), Angela Engel (Collective Book Studio), and Steve Wasserman (Heyday Books). This conversation will go beyond the confines of traditional publishing to unravel the forces shaping the future of literature and storytelling. Join us as we explore innovative business models, disruptive technologies, and emerging platforms that are revolutionizing how books are created, distributed, and consumed. From self-publishing and hybrid models to direct-to-consumer and digital platforms, the possibilities are boundless, offering authors and readers alike unprecedented access to diverse voices and narratives. Our panel of industry trailblazers will share their insights, experiences, and visions for the future of publishing, and talk about all the ways that book publishing itself is as diverse and dynamic as the stories it publishes and elevates.
