Book Expo America is a huge publishing trade show – very prestigious, exciting and energetic. The event was last week in Chicago and we were thrilled to celebrate with Derek Sullivan as his debut contemporary young adult novel released in paperback! BIGGIE is the story of an overweight boy who […]
Huge congratulations to debut author Karen Fortuanti whose contemporary young adult THE WEIGHT OF ZERO was just named to the 2016 Book Expo America (BEA) YA Book Buzz List! I’m headed to Book Expo tomorrow to celebrate with the Delacorte team in person – thank you to our reviewers for […]
If you’re following the publishing industry (and I assume you are, if you read this blog), you’ve probably heard that Book Expo America, or BEA, is being held this week in New York City. From a purely business-savvy perspective, BEA is a great opportunity to editors, agents, booksellers, librarians, writers, […]
Back at the office today after a week and a half in NYC, first at Book Expo America (BEA, for the acronym-savvy) and then on holiday with Rexroth. So how was it? Busy! For every appointment I made and kept, I think I ran into another editor, author, or fellow […]

Sorry for the sudden drop off in posting last week, but the official opening of BEA came with a flurry of work, and meetings, and hastily made appointments, and free books, and more. Hectic, even if it seemed more sedate than the most recent New York-based BEA. For me, of course, it was a nice, easy flight from Denver to LA, and only one hour adjustment to make -- easy-peasy. For my New York colleagues -- not so much. I had a very informative, useful fair, though, and am happy to share some of my impressions.
As are so many of my publishing colleagues, I'm off to Los Angeles for BookExpo America, or BEA. I'm leaving lots of room in my suitcase for the galleys I hope to pick up while I'm there, as well as whatever cute tote bags, and giveaways I can get my little hands on!
