BookExpo America discussion

The floor plan for BEA is up!

I gotta say, I am so happy. So many of my favorite publishers are clustered together. Yeah, that may make in booth signings tricky, but it means I won't be constantly walking back and forth across the Javits Center floor. I think I lapped that place in 12 times in one afternoon. o.O

I love that they're closer togehter too. I was the same way last year - it seemed like I ran back and forth and back and forth 50 times over each day to get where I needed to be.

Sourcebooks is the outlier - they got dumped in Saudi Arabia. Literally!!

Exactly!!! I am so happy about this. Yes, there's a few outliers - S&S, RH, and Sourcebooks, but almost everything is on the same aisle. SO. MUCH. BETTER.

Last year they were just all over the place I hated it because I kept having to run back-and-forth thankfully this year they seem to calm down.

So I'm guessing 2577 is the signing area? Its nice that its not by the children's area again...like every other year...

Actually, the floor plan this year looks like we'll be running back and forth again. *sigh*

Ah just like my normal day then - people wonder how I manage to run back and forth in the warehouse and our office building all day. Well all my hobbies include me doing it...

I consider it exercise so BRING IT ON.

Are the author signings in one area, or will the authors be by their publishers' booths?

Danielle - they do both

Thanks, Hannah. :)
