BEA: It’s a Wrap

Catherine — Fri, 20 May 2016 07:14:43 +0000

I promise, this is my last post about BEA and on Monday I’ll be back to book reviews—providing I can get my brain to work again. Today I just wanted to share photos of some of the other aspects of the trip. In case you think going to conferences is all glamour and fun, it […]

BEA: Books and Authors

Catherine — Wed, 18 May 2016 07:33:44 +0000

Whether you are going to a trade show as a buyer or an industry professional it is standard to have a game plan. And then watch it get blown to pieces as company representatives pitch you what they want to sell. In the case of BEA the companies are publishers and the reps are publicists […]

BEA: The People

Catherine — Tue, 17 May 2016 01:42:44 +0000

Hello, kittens! Sorry for the delay in writing. I have lots of excuses, but let’s just go with: the trip to BEA was so fabulous it left my head spinning and I’ve only now gotten myself pulled together enough to write. That’s not far from the truth because to say it was marvelous is an […]

BookExpo America 2016

Catherine — Wed, 11 May 2016 07:19:20 +0000

It’s that most magical time of year again for book bloggers—BookExpo America starts today. After an absence of 3 years I’m heading back to BEA this year—mostly because they’re having it in Chicago which is a bit easier to get to from Seattle. Yes, the thought of being surrounded by authors, books, and publicists is […]

Armchair BEA 2014 Introduction

Catherine — Mon, 26 May 2014 20:05:50 +0000

Last year I went to BEA and it was like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and the fashion closet in Devil Wears Prada all rolled into one- excitement and activity beyond belief. Unfortunately, living on the opposite coast means it’s a bit expensive to go every year and while I love reading and blogging it’s […]

BEA 2013: Books

Catherine — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:22:48 +0000

Finally, my post about the crux of BEA 2013—the books! These are the titles I gathered. I could have picked up even more but seem to have moved past the phase of getting a book solely for an author’s signature or just to own it. These are the books that piqued my interest and will […]

BEA 2013: Authors

Catherine — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:54:45 +0000

I gave an overview of BEA 2013 last week but thought I’d go more into the fun stuff in this post—namely, the authors, of which there are an abundance. I was at the show for two full days, which felt like enough until I sat in my hotel room on Saturday morning thinking ‘I really want […]

Once a year, the publishing industry goes all out to promote its upcoming fall books. The conference is in New York City and is called BookExpo America (BEA). For book lovers it is like DisneyLand and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory all in one. I mean, really. Full sensory overload. This year I went despite having […]
