It’s just a little over a month away: the event book bloggers, authors, & publishers all look forward to! Book Expo America!
One of the most important things about BEA is not the free galleys but the networking! I’ve made some great friendships & working relationships with people I met at BEA. Unfortunately, I typically plan these meet-ups/meetings at the very last minute and I’m unable to squeeze in as many as I’d like.
This year I’m doing it differently; I’m planning my meetings with publicists/publishers before scheduling the other activities (author signings, etc.) Hopefully this way I can maximize the amount of time I have available. In the three years I’ve been blogging, I’ve come to learn that these meetings, this individual time with publicists, is invaluable. I’ve been able to meet people I’ve only conversed with via email, nurtured relationships formed at previous conferences, and really formulated a “strategic plan” as far as my blog goes.
I’ll be at BEA the entire week of May 23-28th. Will you be there? Want to meet up? Either fill out the form below or email me at jennsbookshelfATgmailDOTcom!
