About the Speaker:

Paul French, author of the best-selling “Midnight in Peking,” explains how the book’s success didn’t follow the usual publishing industry routes. Paul will talk about Midnight came to be, the rise of English-language publishing in China, and greater on-the-ground interest from major Western publishers in writing from China. He will also offer tips for authors working on the ground here about how the traditional route to market via New York or London is no longer so crucial.
