Imagine a world where you can read books on your watch or glasses, where reading is now “consuming content,” and where finding your audience means connecting with millions of social media friends and fans. Now that pages are pixels, book shelves are digital, and everyone can be a publisher or author, the business of making books is open territory for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and virtually anyone with a device at hand. What’s a book? What isn’t? Where is all this going? What’s next? Join the NYU SCPS Center for Publishing and the NYU Office of Alumni Relations for a conversation about the changing and challenging world of publishing. Hear five leading experts dissect the present and predict the future of that once treasured object that is now swiped, tapped, shared and linked. Is it a book…or something else entirely?
DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR YPG SEATS IS NOVEMBER 10th. SIGN UP HERE. For more information about this event, please visit alumni.nyu.edu/futureofthebook or email alumni.info@nyu.edu.
