Community Corner
Off Campus Writers' Workshop Presents: Keir Graff - "“Behind the Book Reviews/Life is Tweet: Social Media Dos and Don'ts”
In
this two-part program, Keir Graff will speak to authors primarily from his
perspective as the editor of Booklist Online. In part one, he will share
the inner workings of the review journal Booklist, charting the life
cycle of a book review and explaining why books do and don't get reviewed. In
part two, he will talk about the ways authors should—and shouldn't—use social
media, while answering the question, “Does social media sell books?" A recent story, "Women &
Horses" can be read online at the Baltimore Review: baltimorereview.org/index.php/winter_2013.com.
