When: Friday, April 24; 9:00 am – 7:00 pm ET
Where: All events will be listed on the PRH Virtual Con page, and follow #PRHVirtualCon, @PenguinRandom, @reddit, and redditblog.com
Who: PRH is partnering with Reddit for AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) and RPAN activations (Reddit Public Access Network) activations! Authors will participate in AMAs across several of Reddit’s book communities to answer questions, and will also read their work live on RPAN, Reddit’s livestreaming platform.
Lindsey Elias, Penguin Random House’s Director of Consumer Shows and Conventions, says, "We're thrilled to take the experience of being at a convention and translate certain aspects into virtual activities. We are excited to connect with our readers during this difficult time and provide them access to our authors and their books. We're looking forward to partnering with Reddit for Author AMAs and live readings throughout the day."
