A new chapter begins when the leaves start to fall.
As the seasons change, we prepare ourselves for shorter days and cooler nights. What a perfect time to explore new authors and new books! Our online author talks let us listen in on conversations with our favorite authors and introduce us to new books to add to our TBR pile!
Help shape the look of these conversations by submitting questions to the author when you register for each talk. Can’t attend the live stream? You can still register and submit questions and a recording will be available on demand and gets emailed directly to every registered participant.
