The group is piloting a new Community Conversation virtual event format — designed as “a dialogue among participants” rather than the standard panel presentation, hoping to boost the role of bookstores (and books and authors) as a galvanizing force to “build the capacity and capabilities for having fearlessly curious conversations on polarizing issues.” On Thursday May 26 at 6:00 PM Pacific Time (or 9:00 PM Eastern), they will feature Mónica Guzmán author of I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times. Publishing professionals who want to join the experiment can enroll using the promotion code: bookseller.
