Tomorrow night, Wednesday, 2/23, 5:00 PST/8:00 EST, Melissa Marr will be at Mysterious Galaxy Books in San Diego to celebrate the release of the fifth and final book in the Wicked Lovely series, DARKEST MERCY.
Even if you don’t live nearby (or you live nearby and didn’t score a ticket), you can watch the event by livestream here. You can watch the event live and even send in your questions for Melissa. Pretty cool, right?
It’s the wave of the future, don’t you think? I can attend a book event in Seattle from my office in New York, send in my questions to the author, share the link with friends so they can attend…and it certainly is more cost effective for all.
What do you think this technology will mean for school and library visits in the future? Have any of you out there tried livestreaming an author or illustrator visit?
