Craig Popelars, Algonquin's director of marketing, will share with you his recommendations for great book club picks while also answering questions about book publishing in today’s market. Highlighting the event will be Algonquin debut novelist Naomi Benaron introducing her Bellwether Prize winning novel, Running the Rift ($24.95)—the #1 Indie Next Pick for January. Barbara Kingsolver said of Running the Rift, “Truly fearless . . . Ambitious, beautiful, and unapologetically passionate.”
