GalleyCat Reviews: Looking Towards the Future

By Jason Boog 

curleybook.jpgIt’s been two full weeks since we launched GalleyCat Reviews, publishing our first reviews, building a Twitter review directory, aggregating timely criticism, and teaming up with some great outlets. This week, we’ll join some of publishing’s brightest minds–trying to figure out how to improve our coverage.

On Wednesday, February 10, at 7 p.m. in the Melville House Bookstore this GalleyCat editor will join a panel of journalists and reviewers to discuss “the future of book reportage.” The panel includes: Laura Miller (Salon.com), Michael Miller (Time Out New York), Craig Morgan Teicher (eBookNewser), and John Mutter (Shelf Awareness). Stop by if you can make it and share your thoughts about the future. There is a $5 cover charge.

Here’s more from the site: “With both the book industry and the journalism industry in historic tumult, whither literary journalism? Where will people read about books and authors and publishers in the future? Will reviews remain important? Will blogs play a more or less important role? Will reportage of industry trends and business developments improve or worsen? What kind of journalism will impact how people hear about books, and where they buy them?”

Editor’s Note: The lineup for the panel has changed since the original post.
