Adrienne, if I do go, I can only go on Sunday. Are you going?
Posted by: Susan | May 16, 2007 at 02:02 PM
Yes, I'll be getting in to NYC very late Thursday night and am staying until Monday morning. If you go, let me know. I'd love to grab coffee or something, say hi. I'm very much looking forward to the conference. Weird blogger policies aside, I love BookExpo....

"Does the term "editorial press representatives" include bloggers or not?"
Yes, it does. Just ignore the scary language. I have a press badge for the second year in a row. I just sent in the application with a couple of printouts from my blog and a free business card that I had printed up at VistaPrint. When they ask for a "copy of the editorial masthead from your publication or a byline," they just mean a sample of your work or something to show that you really are press.
I'll be at BEA all weekend and would love to meet any of you!

Oh, awesome, Sheila! Thank you.
MotherR., are you going to BEA?
Adrienne & Sheila, I really would like to go on that Sunday, so I will see what I can do.

Love the guessing game.
Love that y'all are going to be marching around with press credentials.
Love that people are calling Kevin Henkes a genius.
