Event Description: 

In the world of publishing and writing, everyone wants to know the secret to success. Do success patterns exist? How accurately can decision-makers predict that a book will be a New York Times bestseller or that a film will be a box office hit? And what should writers of novels and/or films keep in mind when creating their works? Join Barbara Marcus (Penguin Random House), Sara Nelson ’78 (HarperCollins), and Derek Green (Yale) as they discuss the ultimate question: is there a formula for a bestseller or hit?
