What makes a book review compelling? How are reviewers chosen, and to what degree
are they allowed to express what they feel? Is there still a strong correlation between
good reviews and book sales? And has the increasing shift away from straight book
reviews—and towards author profiles and Q&As—changed the nature of the discipline?
A lively and frank panel discussion brings together some of New York’s most influential
reviewers and editors, including Pamela Paul (editor of the New York Times Book
Review) and Jonathan Segura, executive editor at Publishers Weekly. Panelists discuss
the work they do, their love of books, the responsibilities they feel to their readers and,
most notably, to writers. The panel is led by David Masello of the National Arts Club’s
literary committee, a noted essayist and author.
