I’ll be in conversation with Emmy-nominated film editor Terilyn A. Shropshire (Children of Blood and Bone) and Tabresha Langham, TV & film marketing and publicity director, on Sunday, June 6 at 2PM ET at Songbyrd. We’re chatting adapting romance books for the big and small screen.

This panel also features a curated reading list and on-site book sales by MahoganyBooks.
