It’s almost here! BEA, the largest publishing tradeshow, this side of the Atlantic, kicks off Friday, June 1st in New York City. Man, do I wish I could be there! It’s going to be HUGE. I can’t imagine all those authors, publishers andall those books!
I am just going to have to live my dreams through the blogs and exploits of others. There is the BEA Director’s blog and BookDwarf says there will be live blogging there. A few LibraryThingers are even planning a trip to a local watering hole (co-owned by Sebastian Junger).
I’m also trying to land some first-hand accounts of the show here at {head}:sub/head. So I’ve got my fingers crossed that it’ll happen.
Let me know if you’re aware of any other palces that will shift their lenses to BEA this weekend. I’d really like to keep up.
Well, the publishers blog and author blog at Unbridled Books (shameless plug, I know) will feature some posts by editor/publisher Fred Ramey and authors Andrea Portes and Timothy Schaffert. I arranged their blogging so I could experience BEA vicariously! 😉

Hey, it’s pretty cool that your blog automatically turns urls into links! Is that a plugin?
