New App Launched By Brooklyn Book Festival And AT&T
The Brooklyn Book Festival and AT&T announced today the launch of a free iPhone and Android-compatible “app” that will provide Festival-goers and book lovers with everything from author biographies and their social media links to schedules, lineups, maps, directions and other information for the week-long Brooklyn Book Festival. Users will also be able to use the app to vote for their AT&T Fan Fave, in which the winning authors will receive a cash prize to donate to their favorite charity.
Beginning today, Apple product users will be able to search for “Brooklyn Book Festival” in the App Store and download the app for their smartphones and tablets; Android customers can download from Google Play. Screenshots of the app are attached to this email (photo credit is Brooklyn Book Festival).
“Through this collaboration, AT&T is excited to help take the Brooklyn Book Festival to the next level and expand it to an even wider audience,” said Marissa Shorenstein, president of AT&T New York. “Brooklyn has become the hub of technology for the city and Brooklyn is also the hub of the literary community.”
