“The balance is to amplify voices when I can and to put together interesting events that are going to excite people.” – Sabir Sultan

Today I interviewed Sabir Sultan of Strand Book Store

Sabir Sultan is the Director of Events at the Strand. Prior to that he was the Events Manager at Barnes & Noble 5th Avenue. He loves reading books, thinking about books, talking about books, and programming book events.

In this episode we speak about:

  • Creating an ideal audience experience and exchange of ideas at book events

  • How to navigate spoilers

  • Being responsive to world events

  • Delightful idiosyncrasies of different book audiences

Then my character Judy revels about the parallel organization of the Strand and the produce aisle of her cop.
