BookExpo America discussion

Nice!

This is so helpful! Do you know how does this work? Are the authors in a specific area or in the publisher's booth?

This will be my first time going. From my understand..."

I believe there are also booths categorized as "Author's Row" which might be where the in booth ones are held, but I think the publisher booths make sense too so I hope they clarify when we get there. The regular "autographing sessions" I think are held in the specific autographing area on the map.

But it's my first time going too so all of this info could be wrong :)

I think every little piece of information helps. As soon as I'm done with this class I will try the "BEA Planner" and see if it's helpful. Everything is so BIG that it's too much to take in. I'll do better next year ;)

Signings are in two places--Autographing Area (big space of about 26 lines) and the Publisher Booths, which are spread throughout the floor itself. The 'Big' Publishers tend to be clustered close together within a few aisles of each other.

Author's Row may be the Autographing Area, far as I remember (or know) there isn't another designated area specifically for Authors.
