PW Show Daily@BookCon, May 30, 31
Deadline: April 30
This year, PW Show Daily will be distributed at Book Expo on May 27, May 28, and May 29. On each day, PW Show Daily will be available to conventioneers before the exhibits open, with early-morning distribution at shuttle bus stops, selected hotels, and in the exhibition hall. PW Show Daily@BookCon will be distributed to attendees to BookCon on May 30 and 31.
Show Daily’s editorial package features:
--interviews with authors, booksellers, and publishers;
--listings of special offers and giveaways;
--sidelines and remainders;
--international happenings;
--stories about new books;
--new technology and more
Show Daily will also include coverage of events both on and off the exhibit floors, including meetings and panels, ABA news, and updates from BEA’s show organizer, Reed Exhibitions. Information about New York sights, places to eat, and special events scheduled during BookExpo will be noted, as well as photos of activities both on and off the floor, including authors, publishers, costumed characters, etc.
We need your help. An important part of our daily coverage is interviews, before BEA, with authors who will be participating on panels, and at breakfasts, luncheons, and press conferences as well as autographings. Please send us advance releases and photographs of authors who you would like to have interviewed, and include the date, time and venue of their appearance. We welcome this information as soon as possible to ensure your author is part of this very popular feature.
In addition, let us know about special anniversaries and interesting booth events, as well as announcements of new products and sales programs being launched at so that we can plan pre-convention and on-site coverage. We would also appreciate any suggestions for features that you would like to see in PW Show Daily or PW Show Daily@BookCon. Coverage is for all adult and children's books and product, including e-books, audio, sidelines, etc.
While we will accommodate late-breaking news and on-site photo and text coverage through Thursday afternoon, May 28, we need PW Show Daily submissions as soon as possible, with the general deadline of April 30. Do continue to send advance information throughout April and May, the earlier, the better.
