Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, was at the Barnes and Noble Peachtree location in Atlanta to give a reading and sign copies of her New York Times bestseller, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. Her humorous memoir has held the #1 spot for four weeks now and Lawson has been on the nationwide book signing tour for several weeks as well.
Lawson spoke with GoodEReader in an interview about the importance of establishing an online presence through social media outlets and blogging, as well as the rising popularity of authors having blogs as a way to put more content in front of their readers.
Lawson will be speaking at BookExpo America next month and the GoodEReader team will be on location in order to provide coverage of both the publishing event and the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) conference.
