Editor's Note: Shop Local; Read Local
On the author side, we can lay claim to quite a few writers who regularly reside on the bestseller lists, including Jennifer Weiner and Lisa Scottoline, but it's the breadth and depth that exists around those brand names that astounds. Recently, I had the good fortune to sit around a table with a number of these impressive local literary lights. The table in question was in our conference room here at NAPCO, at a luncheon we hosted to celebrate the local writing and publishing community. Over sandwiches and conversation about self-publishing, the huge number of new books being published, ebooks, publicity and community building, writers, some publishers, and even one literary agent shared experiences and ideas in a lively and long conversation.
