Welcome to Books on Tap Live (BOTL), an innovative live-streamed interview show with book authors produced by Publishers Weekly (PW) in partnership with BurstMarketing.

BOTL is a casual, come as you are (wear your jammies if you wish) live streaming hangout where the vibe is always chill and the conversation always scintillating. Hear from and chat with your favorite authors and maybe even win that book you’ve been dying to read at this virtual lounge hosted by PW editors.

Young Adult author Valerie Tripp talks about her new book, “Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T. Squad: Absolute Hero.”

Featuring prominent authors discussing their new or forthcoming titles in fiction, nonfiction, comics/graphic novels and children’s/YA, Books on Tap Live brings you the story behind the story and allows you to mix and mingle – virtually – with the guests after the interview.

Streaming live on Facebook, YouTube and on publishersweekly.com/booksontaplive, PW’s author web series appreciates your quizzical nature and wants to put your questions to our guest following the official interview. You can join the conversation by writing in on Facebook during the live event or submit your questions early for the best chance at getting selected. Enter your question in the brief form included on the individual event page.
