Important Updates Remember — starting the middle of next week and throughout the convention, all Lunch readers can visit the home page of PublishersMarketplace.com any time for the first and only live coverage of BEA. Highlights will be e-mailed out every morning. News and deals from the show can be e-mailed to us, or you can come by our PublishersMarketplace.com booth at #4900 in the West Hall and leave word. We’ll also be collecting galleys and cool giveaways there for photograph and comment (can anyone beat my favorite Curious George pens from a couple of years ago?). Of course at […]

Important Updates Looking to next week, there will be no Lunch on Monday, and Tuesday is my travel day, so that’s looking iffy as well. Starting Thursday, we’ll be offering the first and only truly live coverage of the BEA convention. News reports will be posted to the home page of PublishersMarketplace.com during the day every day Thursday through Sunday from the convention floor (along with digital photos, event highlights, and more) , and everyone will have access. So use the terminals at the show or the computer in your booth to check back as often as you like and […]

Please Note Yesterday’s edition had an incomplete hyperlink for Amistad Books, publisher of the forthcoming THE KNOWN WORLD. The correct link is: http://www.amistadbooks.com BEA Now, and Then Our cool new BEA Marketplace.com directory will remain live throughout the convention itself, and it will be easily accessible all over the convention center, so you can use it for one-the-spot reference. (Which means exhibitors and rights centers participants should keep adding as much information as possible, and even post news from the floor itself.) Look for banks of terminals in the lobbies of both main halls, which will be set up to […]

The Latest Deals New ones since last night’s wrap-up include a biography of robber baron Jay Gould, a big UK deal for a massive first novel based on the author’s real-life escapades on the run after breaking out of an Australian prison (which include working with the mujaheddin in Afghanistan), a big deal here for another memoir of life in Baghdad, and much more. We’ve got another new guest in the Forums at PublishersMarketplace.com for writers; agent Noah Lukeman — also the author of writer’s guides THE FIRST FIVE PAGES and THE PLOT THICKENS: 8 Ways to Bring Fiction to […]

Frankfurt Deadline Coming I know many people are still trying to get prepared for BEA, but the print deadline for the Frankfurt exhibitor catalog is only weeks away. If you take advantage now of our new “boothless business center” service with the trade show experts at the American Collective Stand, you can get a listing in that catalog included in your package, along with a great introductory discount. Of course you also get a place to schedule a couple of meetings, receive messages and meeting people throughout the show, full-use of computers with high-speed internet access, printers, and fax machines, […]
