Join Bill Mockler of Consortium Books, a major distributor for independent publishers; David Enyeart, events coordinator and assistant manager at Common Good Books in St. Paul; and Colleen Baldrica, author of “Tree Spirited Woman,” a highly popular title published by Beaver’s Pond Press, for a lively discussion about things they have all done to get reader attention and move books. This will be both a discussion and Q&A.
