Recap and Save-the-Date

A few weeks ago, the NYU Publishing Alum Group indulged our sweet tooth and gathered at the delicious Crumbs bakery near Washington Square. Amid all varieties of cupcakes we recapped some highlights of our last event which featured Neil DeYoung (Hachette) and Denise Tillis (Conde Nast). Neil and Denise spoke about the digital world and what book and magazine publishers are up to these days and what's on the horizon. Our conversation turned from e-books and the best/newest e-book readers to iPhone apps and how to put Facebook to use for brands, authors, and publishers.

Have you downloaded an e-book reader to your iPhone? If so, which one?
How many of you have a Kindle? Do you use it for more for reading books or newspapers?

And speaking of indulging our sweet tooth, we'll be doing so again at our next meetup, so save the date: Monday, August 31st, at 6:30. Location TBD.

Hope to see you there,
Karina, Joanne, Ania, and Karen
