Penguin Partners With BlogHer to Launch Online Book Club, Writer's Conference
BlogHer and Penguin also announced plans to host a New York-based conference this fall for women writers to discuss the craft of writing and the business of publishing with authors, agents, and other publishing professionals.
"For years, the BlogHer.com community has hosted ad-hoc book clubs where women trade advice on what to read. Partnering with Penguin Group (USA) will give our book-loving influencers access to the best books, authors, and ideas," said Lisa Stone, BlogHer Co-founder and CEO. "Their prestige, breadth and depth as a publisher—from "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" to "Penguin's Young Readers Group"—make Penguin an ideal partner for BlogHer's influential community of social media leaders. A fall conference for authors who want to publish their blogs as books is a natural extension of this exciting relationship."
