Details:
Books Around the Bend promotes authors with books due to publish later this winter and next spring. Each author will have the stage for 5 minutes to promote their book, and then remain at the end of the event to personalize books and talk to booksellers. Your job at this final event of the Fall Tradeshow is to give your audience something to look forward to and talk about in the months to come. Please arrive at 11:45 am to pre-sign your books and 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.

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.
