This author facing panel will discuss the connection between those who write and those who bring books to communities. It is no surprise the books librarians champion, receive greater traction and attract more readers. Lists like the New York Public Library’s Best of Horror have significant influence in the horror world. How can authors foster professional relationships with their library and how can this help elevate their careers? Most importantly, how can authors give back to both their lore-master accomplices as well as the greater communities they serve?

I own too many paperbacks and write too many books. I apologize for both of these sins.
