PRH Speakers Bureau and Penguin Live: Powerful Platforms to Extend the Reach of Our Authors Beyond Their Books
March 21, 2018
What is the next best thing to reading an amazing book? Meeting the author!

Both connect authors with readers in interactive and dynamic ways designed to broaden our horizons and to deepen the impact of our books.
