Welcome to #BEABlitz!


So some of you on twitter may have noticed myself (), Hannah () and Nicole () discussing something called "BEA Blitz".  Often our conversations devolved into something a tad bit more...scary, but we always began discussing how excited we are for Book Expo.

Book Expo America (BEA) begins this month on May 30th and ends June 1st--though there's so much more to do.  There's publisher parties, blogger get togethers, Teen Author Carnival, New York Book Week, New York in general...its just a really awesome packed 5 days.

Hannah and Nicole were as excited as I am so we began discussing how we could get OTHER people excited as well.  Thus was BEA Blitz born.

Basically we'll be talking with publishing industry folks (editors, publicists, authors), bloggers and even booksellers about how they view BEA.  What to look forward to, what to anticipate, the fun and the not so fun--we're hoping that by having this month long celebration of all things BEA everyone will get as excited as we are.

How it works is that each day one of us will post--we'll be rotating day to day so that no one person or blog has an OVERLOAD of BEA information.  In between there will be other stuff--author spotlights, book spotlights, Hannah's BEA Tips and Tricks series--and at the end we shall interview each other.  If all goes as planned we shall also have a surprise the night before BEA (when we three meet up) to share with everyone!

Be prepared for the Blitz!
