BOOK SUMMIT 2012
THE PAGE AND PERSUASION: DISCOVERABILITY IN AN AGE OF ABUNDANCE

Thursday, June 21, 2012
Harbourfront Centre, Toronto

We now have more choice than ever in what we read. New genres, formats, platforms and publishing opportunities mean there is now an abundance of content to explore, but how exactly do readers make their choices?

Book Summit 2012 will examine ways to connect with your audience and encourage sales. We will look at new models within all sectors of the book industry and be guided by panels of experts through the practicalities and creative considerations of reader engagement.

Join writers, publishing professionals, editors, librarians, educators, booksellers, literary agents, policy makers, publishing students and an excellent slate of speakers as we explore the persuasive factors that influence what readers discover in the age of abundance.
