The Booksmith and beNOW.tv announce a new social video partnership giving viewers from around the world the opportunity to watch and virtually participate in The Booksmith’s popular author events.

The Booksmith is the first independent bookstore to enable regular levestreaming of its author events.

“Our partnership with beNOW.tv is helping us further realize our goal of becoming a bookstore for the 21st centry. Livestreaming high quality video of our author events over the Internet to viewers locally, nationally, and globally, allows us to enchance and extend our community of authors and readers,” says Christin Evans, co-owner of The Booksmith.

“We are thrilled to announce that The Booksmith is our initial charter member. I have worked with Praveen and Christin for years and look forward to learning from them and supporting their bold vision for the bookstore business. Their consistent, solid lineup of highly regarded authors combined with their eagerness to embrace new trends in social media and online video makes them an ideal partner,” says Brian Gruber, founder and president of BeNow.tv.
