bookpublishing

Tomorrow I attend my first BookExpo America (BEA) at the Javits Center in New York, NY. I’m super psyched because most of the year I spent assuming I wouldn’t be invited to attend. But last minute some tickets freed up and so to BEA I go. I’m not entirely sure what to expect except for a lot of freebies. I’m looking forward to checking out what my company’s competitors are doing in sports and outdoor recreation in particular. But mostly I just want to get a general feel of the current publishing atmosphere, and hopefully check out some of the talks. Anything about social media and new media sounds pretty interesting to me right now.

If you do plan on being at BEA and want to meet up, I’ve got a pretty free schedule! DM me at twitter.com/jesshaberman and I’ll do my best to coordinate. I’ll be live Tweeting as much as I can, so keep an eye out for my updates. You can also search for the #bea09 hashtag for a constant stream of BEA updates from tweeters all over.
