Firebrand is thrilled to announce that 44 bloggers signed up to be at our booth (#4077) during Book Expo America. It’s clear from how quickly this idea went from concept to reality, that book bloggers need and want to create community-to-community relationships with publishers, retailers, and readers. This is an incredibly exciting time in publishing!
We invite every publisher at BEA to review this schedule and mark their calendars, so they have a chance to meet the bloggers who are helping to sell their books.
The schedule is below. We have a couple of new entries (Sarah Weinman, Ed Champion, and Austin Allen) not listed below, or if you have trouble reading the layout below, Click Here

This is so cool guys! At the show this year, we’ve got an area on the show floor where bloggers can grab a free high speed connection and blog. It’s in an area called the New Media Zone (around booth 3750). Check my blog (www.mediumatlarge.net) or feel free to email me with questions (lfensterman at reedexpo dot com). See you at the show!

How do I go about getting interviews by all 29 of you guys????
I’ll be at the Hal Leonard/Backbeat Books booth all day Friday and Saturday promoting my book, By the Time We Got to Woodstock: Rock and Revolution in 1969, by playing some of the 300 songs from 1969 I collected on my Ipod.
I’ll be the one who still thinks it’s 1969.
Can’t wait to meet everyone!
Thank you all for representing!!! Wish I could be there too!! Enjoy yourselves. Why am I saying that? Of course you will.
Wish I’d known about this earlier. Sounds like great fun. I will be keeping up with it via twitter!
