The Winter Institute Author Reception in Photos

Posted Friday, Jan 20, 2012

The good times did, indeed, roll at last Thursday night’s Author Reception at Winter Institute 7, sponsored by the Ingram Content Group. The reception capped a day that featured the World Book Night Breakfast, a Rep’s Picks Lunch, and 20 educational sessions.

The Author Reception, a literary love fest where booksellers wandered happily with armloads of their favorite galleys, featured light refreshments and more than 60 authors.

Here, in photos, are some of the booksellers and authors who were there in New Orleans.
