Wi3 Provides Three Opportunities to Get the Scoop on Upcoming Titles

Booksellers attending next month's Winter Institute (Wi3) will have the opportunity to hear presentations about some of the best from publisher partners' upcoming lists at three Rep Picks sessions.

The first Rep Picks session will be offered on Friday, January 25, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., immediately preceding the Wi3 Author Reception. The two other sessions will be held on Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to noon and from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Each session will offer the same four concurrent tracks focusing on key titles landing in stores in February and March. Presentations will give booksellers valuable talking points and insight about the titles they will soon be handselling to their customers.

No other Wi3 programming is planned during the Reps Picks sessions, and publishers will present the same titles at each of the three sessions. Booksellers will have the opportunity to choose the sessions they wish to attend.

Note sheets for publishers' presentations, complete with bibliographic information, will be provided at each session.
