BEA, for most non-American readers, would be an unknown. The Book Expo America is a massive 4 day event in NYC, starting 4th June, with over 1300 stalls, and 500 authors (FIVE HUNDRED!!)
Not only does it feature authors and publishers, but plenty of bloggers and other folks in the publishing industry.
Official BEA website with schedules (Don't read this, you will only want to be there, I promise):

ReplyDeleteI do torture myself every year by looking at the BEA schedule and working out what I would do if I was there!
