Signup Begins for Bookseller/Publisher Focus Groups at BEA

Following the success of the Bookseller/Publisher Focus Groups held at Winter Institute 8 in Kansas City, the American Booksellers Association is arranging similar meetings at BookExpo America. Booksellers who are interested in meeting with publishers to discuss issues of common interest and mutual concern must sign up by May 3.

Booksellers will be assigned randomly to a specific publisher for one of the six time slots listed below. Assignments will be sent via e-mail from ABA’s Mark Nichols during the week of May 13.
 
Participation in the focus groups is limited to two booksellers per ABA member company. A unique e-mail address is required for each bookseller. Requests for specific publishers and/or time slots cannot be accommodated, and booksellers are asked not to change appointments during the show.
