Announcing Muse May Keynote: R. F. Kuang

We are delighted to announce that #1 New York Times bestselling author R. F. Kuang will headline our May Muse and the Marketplace Publishing Summit. The critically acclaimed author of Babel and the Poppy War trilogy enters new literary territory with her forthcoming book Yellowface (May 16). 

Kuang will be joined by two members of her HarperCollins editorial team — May Chen and Mireya Chiriboga — whose own experiences as industry professionals informed the plot of the book. Together, they will pull back the curtain on how they collaborated professionally throughout the writing, publishing, and launch processes to bring Yellowface into the world. 

To celebrate, we are teaming up with Porter Square Books: Boston Edition to give away 50 free copies of Yellowface to May Summit attendees. Claim yours as an add-on to your May summit registration or add a copy to your order when you register. But don't wait — these books will go fast.
