Schwarzman Sessions are peer-led gatherings where conversations generate collaborations and move ideas into action. Because seats are limited, registrants will be automatically placed on the waitlist and will be notified via email if they are selected to participate. 

Join Megan Tingley, President and Publisher of Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (LBYR), for an expert look at building a distinguished career in the publishing industry. Under her extraordinary leadership, LBYR has released countless bestsellers by celebrated authors such as James Patterson, Stephenie Meyer, and Lemony Snicket. Named one of the 50 Top Women in Book Publishing, Ms. Tingley will discuss ​her unique career path, launching the acclaimed Twilight saga, shaping a balanced (and outstanding) book list, and tips to succeed in the ever-evolving literary world. 

Don't miss this chance to learn from one of publishing's most influential voices. We provide the meal, you provide the conversation.
