In keeping with our tradition, here is an overview of the known BEA after-hours celebrants and events so far. If your event is not listed, that means you didn’t let us know; send an e-mail and we’ll update as appropriate. As usual, this is a guide to what’s happening and an acknowledgement of the authors and occasions being celebrated, rather than a crasher’s manual; many of these events require an invitation and RSVP, often in strictly limited numbers, though others are open. Congratulations and best wishes to all for successful gatherings.
Also for your BEA plans, you can find our simple, essential all-in-one sheet “master schedule” of events via publun.ch/BEA15sched.
And the best way to sample many of the biggest discovery books of the show ahead is with your free copies of our ebooks Buzz Books 2015: Fall/Winter and Buzz Books 2015: Young Adult. Both have already registered thousands of downloads, and lots of enthusiastic online reviews. Now for the events:
