![New Series: Authors @ Mashable [50 Book Giveaway]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/07HeDaBxFsa1hR469Dog8uA/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647017215.jpg)
We're excited to announce Authors@Mashable, a new series that will provide Mashable readers with the unique opportunity to interact and engage with today’s Web 2.0 authors. Each author and their book will be showcased over a two week period, with an introduction and book giveaway, direct correspondence with our audience, and a final live interactive Q&A brought you by Y! Live. Kicking off the series are authors Ori and Rom Brafman, with their New York Times Bestseller Sway.
Ori Brafman is no stranger to Web culture. If you haven't red Ori Brafman's first book, The Starfish and the Spider, be sure to check it out and I think you will all enjoy the chapter "The Spider, The Starfish, and the President of the Internet".
Ori will kick off the series on Tuesday, July 15th with a personal introduction to his book and open the comments section for questions, suggestions and praise/criticism. He will follow-up with two separate posts, then everyone will have the chance to interact with Ori and Rom Brafman via a live Q&A on Tuesday, July 22nd.
If you already own the book then get your questions ready for Ori. If you don't own the book and you live in the contiguous US States, now's your chance. The first 50 people to properly fill out the form will receive a copy of the book just in time for participation. Act fast! Also, feel free to read an exclusive first chapter (with preface) through here.
