HWA at BEA 2009
For the second time in its history, the Horror Writers Association exhibited at BookExpo America, held May 29th through the 31st at the Jacob K. Javits Center in NYC. Several HWA members – including Deborah LeBlanc, Alexandra Sokoloff, Ellen Datlow, Gary Frank, Kim Paffenroth, Connie Corcoran-Wilson, Jameson Currier, and Vince Liaguno – participated in book signing events during the convention, successfully placing their titles in front of booksellers, librarians, and new readers alike.
BookExpo America is the publishing industry’s largest event with literally thousands of publishers, authors, booksellers, and agents under one roof. After last year’s successful West Coast event, BEA returned to New York. Below are some highlights from the busy HWA Booth:
Vince and Ellen did a fantastic job with the booth! The whole Expo was a little light this year but one third of humongous is still pretty damn big. I got a half a year’s worth of business done in one three day weekend and am very grateful to HWA for providing this incredible opportunity.
Thanks for these great photos, Vince! The booth looks fantastic. You did HWA proud.
