This coming Friday, November 7, 1-1:45 p.m. Eastern, ReadingGroupGuides.com will host its 14 1/2 Annual Book Group Speed Dating Event---virtually. Representatives from six publishers will share selections from their publishing houses via video to give booksellers, librarians, and book group leaders an inside look at new and upcoming titles that book groups will want to know about and discuss. E-galleys for select titles will be available to be requested from Edelweiss and/or NetGalley, as well as print galleys from some of the publishers. Leave-behinds will be made available in PowerPoint and Excel formats. Advance signup is required and can be done here.
Participating publishers include Grand Central Publishing, Harlequin Trade Publishing, Random House Publishing Group, Simon & Schuster, Sourcebooks, and W.W. Norton.
