Finding Your Focus: A Roundtable for Aspiring Book Collectors
This roundtable will features recent winners of the Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize for young women book collectors. The panelists will share the experience of building their winning collections, with an emphasis on the moments of inquiry, epiphany, and re-evaluation that shaped their projects. Our goal in this roundtable is to demystify the early stages of building a collection, when many aspiring collectors become discouraged or intimidated, by focusing on productive acts of re-direction and pivoting.
