NASHVILLE, Tenn, – Monday, November 27, 2017 – Walt Mossberg will deliver the opening keynote for Digital Book World 2018, the morning of Tuesday, October 2.
His talk will kick off the longstanding and influential event, which provides thought leadership, best practices, and the gathering of community for the wide world of publishing.
"There simply is no one better equipped to deliver the message the publishing industry needs to hear today," remarked Score Publishing CEO Bradley Metrock.
