HarperCollins hosts literary influencer retreat in New York

HarperCollins recently hosted the third annual ‘Shelves and the City’ event in New York, a specialized influencer trip designed for 95 book creators. Described by participants as a ‘reading summer camp for adults,’ the weekend featured activities such as a themed ‘Romantasy Ball,’ karaoke, and a book-themed scavenger hunt.

A central component of the itinerary included volunteering at the Brooklyn Public Library, which many attendees cited as their favorite activity. The event aims to engage the growing community of digital book creators through immersive literary experiences.
