Are you involved in author and book events and concerned about your safety? Join Philomena Polefrone from American Booksellers Association, Samira Ahmed from Authors Against Book Bans and Yemile Bucay from PEN America for a workshop on safety considerations for book events. Whether in bookstores, libraries, or public spaces, book events are facing threats and we’re here to help.
We’ll share top-level guidance on how to assess risk and take action to keep your coalition safe in an uncertain political environment. We’ll hear stories and tips from authors, organizers, and booksellers, and close with a Q/A to answer your questions about physical and digital safety.
