Instructions for Authors, Publishers, and Publicists
​

Coming Soon!

We have negotiated a special block rate with the Best Western Plus Edmonds Harbor Inn. Rates are good from April 9 thru 19. Deadline for booking March 27.

​Thank you for helping make PNBA's 2026 Spring Pop-Up a great event. Please complete the steps below to finalize your participation:

  • Register to Attend--This year a nominal fee will be charged for all attendees (excluding featured authors) to help us cover food and venue rentals for the event. Please help us with planning and use the "Register to Attend" button above to register any staff or representatives you plan to have at the event. (Authors will be registered separately.)  
  • Book Hotel Room(s)—Book your author’s and handler's room(s) at the Best Western Plus Edmonds Harbor Inn. The PNBA group rate will apply when you navigate to booking from the “Book Your Room” button above.
  • Print Shipping Labels—Click the orange "Get Shipping Labels" button above to print your shipping labels for any books, stuffits, or other material you are shipping to the event.
  • Mail your Books—Mail your author’s books to our PNBA location, as listed on the shipping labels. Do not ship materials to the hotel. Books must be received to our office in Eugene, Oregon by April 10th. If the books will be delivered in person please let Greg know.

Additional Opportunities for Authors and Publishers
Pitch your author for the event: We have set aside eight podium slots of 10 to 12 minutes each (followed by social signing opportunities)--four each on the afternoon of April 14 and the morning of April 15--and fourteen spaces at a reception-style evening signing event on the 14th. Podium events are $500 (and 36-ish books) and the reception party is $350 (and 24-ish books). Pitch your author using the button to the left. Author pitch period has closed. 

Rep Picks slots available: The stage will be reserved the final hour of the day one program at the Plaza Room for rep pitches. Slots will run 6 - 10 minutes, depending on the number of commitments. There is no charge, but reps must be current members of PNBA to participate and space is limited. Book your slot using the button. Rep Picks is full! Please email Greg to get on the waiting list.
Send your sell-sheet: Not able to make the event, but would still like to make a mark? Send us your sellsheet and we'll stuff it in the book bags to be handed out to booksellers attending the evening reception event on April 14. Please prepare 50 single-sheet flyers and we will stuff them for $75. Sign-up using the button.
​
Education Ideas?  We are still soliciting ideas for 25 and 50 min. education slots. Do you have a presentation in your hip pocket? Industry-related, store focus, author/education hybrid—creativity considered!

Get your name out there: PNBA is looking for a sponsor to offset attendee lunch costs ($500) and a sponsor for evening reception refreshments ($250) on day one of the Pop-Up. We are also looking for a coffee and pastries sponsor for day two ($250). Recognition will go up immediately on the Pop-Up event page and will be included in all attendee messaging. Sponsorships include a Stuff-It flyer for the reception book bags. 

Use the button to the right to email Brian with education ideas or to claim your sponsorship.
