BookExpo America & Book Blogger Convention

Two book events in NYC in May that you need to register for now:

BookExpo America – “From the digital revolution to a new business model, the book industry is changing rapidly and BEA is changing, too…We’re offering more than ever before: more content, more events, more titles and authors—and all that means even more buzz.This year’s Autographing Area is scheduled to feature more than 500 author signings during BEA!”

Panel of particular interest:

Leading Latino Authors Are Representative of a Vibrant Market

Tuesday, May 25, 2010
3:15PM – 4:15PM

Location: Room 1B01

Every Latino author on this panel has well over 100,000 in book sales, illustrating that Latino authors do sell. This fast paced session will focus on the careers of these remarkable authors, why Latino authors don’t always receive the attention they deserve and why we will be seeing more best selling Latino authors.
