Details:
A featured event at our show for more than twenty years, Authors on the Map promotes newer Northwest authors who have written a potential breakout book. Ten authors each have exactly 5 minutes to promote themselves and their new title. Help booksellers get excited about your book with a glance behind the curtain: stories about the book, how you wrote it, and any gold nuggets not included in the pages that they can share with their employees and customers. Please arrive at 7:15 am to meet with the Event Coordinator and Emcee, go over last-minute details, confirm speaking order, and find your seat to share a meal will the booksellers. Once the meal has ended, Authors will sign books for attendees.

PNBA will give you and one preregistered guest show badges (and tickets to the meal you are presenting at). The badges will allow you to attend educational sessions, exhibits, and PNBA events and parties, except those that require meal tickets. If you would like to purchase tickets for other events at the show, please fill out a Meal Ticket Form. Your badges and meal tickets will be held under your last name at the PNBA registration desk. If you are unable to pick them up before registration closes, the emcee will hold your tickets for you at the event. More information about the show is available at the show page on our website.

PNBA considers Fall Tradeshow authors to be our celebrities. We pledge to make sure that you have a fun and productive show.
