BEA 2015 | Next Month in NYC

BookExpo America 2015 is coming to the Javits Center at the end of May.

There will be a Bloggers Conference on the first day, May 27.

I always wondered why the Frankfurt Book Fair claimed such a large share of the publishing industry's attention and budget.

Publishing has been broadening and deepening:
- More kinds of media for readers,
- More opportunities to publish for authors,
- More competition for traditional publishers.

It makes sense that the annual BookExpo in New York City has become increasingly important as a way for independent bloggers and authors to connect. The intermediary institutions are learning to work with the independents. Publishers are learning to harness the desire of authors to make their work more accessible and better known.

Here's an overall take what I posted on BookExpo America 2014 last June.
