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. We have been adding events, now with almost 30 listings.) As usual, this is a guide to what’s happening and an acknowledgment 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 (some are already oversubscribed), though others are open. Congratulations and best wishes […]

Fall/Winter Buzz Books Preview: Nonfiction
As usual, our free Buzz Books sampler opens with Sarah Weinman’s broader surveys of over 100 notable books from the forthcoming season.

Or just pick up the consumer editions […]
The BEA Master Schedule, In One Place
As usual, for people who have trouble navigating the official BEA online listings, we have compiled our handy BEA Master Schedule. Posted as a shared Google spreadsheet, you can download it, print it, and sort/search it according to your needs. We have gathered all the posted events information and put it into a day-by-day format. And each event also has a “track” tag, so you can easily sort by topic/type to find what you are looking for. Our schedule is posted and shared via the easy-to-use publun.ch/BEA15sched. Please note the schedule is comprehensive for BEA seminars and events, but is very […]
BEA Starts Here with Two New Buzz Books Collections
We let the AP and our selected authors and publishers take the lead in making the announcement of our release of the big new Publishers Lunch Buzz Books 2015: Fall/Winter and Fall/Winter Young Adult free ebook samplers. We first created Buzz Books three years to solve two problems: Curating and sharing the wealth of “buzz books” on display at BEA well beyond one or two panel slots, to help attendees arrive with real knowledge of some of the important books (and to share BEA with those across the trade who don’t attend), and anticipating how you might achieve the “great giveaway” […]
