Events: Doubleday 125th Anniversary
Doubleday will host a paid event to celebrate the imprint’s 125th anniversary, in-person in New York and via livestream. “This remarkable milestone spans the publications of DRACULA in 1897 to this year’s phenomenon LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY,” publisher and editor-in-chief Bill Thomas said. Six current Doubleday authors – Helen Ellis, David Grann, Kevin Kwan, Jane Mayer, Colson Whitehead and Hanya Yanagihara – will each read from a classic Doubleday title and discuss their respective publishing careers at Symphony Space. (Due to “scheduling conflicts,” Dan Brown and John Grisham — originally on the schedule — will not appear at the event.)
