35-Plus Authors to Take Part in Wi5 Reception
This week, the American Booksellers Association announced the names of 37 authors and illustrators who will participate in the publisher-sponsored Author Reception at the Fifth Annual Winter Institute (Wi5). Always a highlight of ABA's premier winter education event, the reception, on Thursday evening, February 4, will provide booksellers with an opportunity to mingle with the authors and illustrators, who will be there to autograph new or forthcoming titles.
"Thanks to the continuing support of ABA's Publisher Partners, we're once again able to bring booksellers and authors together for this festive, annual event at the Winter Institute," said Senior Director of Publisher Initiatives Mark Nichols. "The reception has proven to be a wonderful venue for booksellers to meet new talent as well as handselling favorites. Authors, too, appreciate the chance to acknowledge the indie booksellers who have placed their books in the hands of readers across the country."
