BookThinkers Newsletter #13 - Last year was 200 authors. This year its 500+.

This Week at BookThinkers

Short one this week - but an important one. BookThinkers LIVE 2026 is getting close, and looking back at last year is a good reminder of why this matters.

⭐ Looking Back at BookThinkers LIVE 2025

A year ago, more than 200 authors, speakers, and book lovers gathered for BookThinkers LIVE 2025 - and the people who were there are still talking about it.

One attendee put it simply: still thinking about all the great conversations, the energy in the room, and the amazing people met that day - grateful for the chance to share a message from the stage.

Another, who spoke on the "book influencer" panel, called it one of the best-run events they'd attended all year - 200+ authors, speakers, and business owners in one room, united by an abundantly clear love of books and reading.

This year, we're not stopping at 200. 500+ people. July 11–12. Boston.

BookThinkers LIVE 2026

Speaker Spotlight — Jill Schulman Brings the Fire

If you want a preview of the energy Jill Schulman is bringing to BookThinkers LIVE 2026, look no further than her latest move: running a Spartan Race and giving a keynote in the same weekend.

Her take: sharing your message with the world takes the same mindset as attempting a challenging obstacle course — grit, resilience, and a tribe that's got your back.

That's exactly the energy she'll bring to Boston.
