Are we going to be a WHAT?

Subject: Re: BEA Sat Mar 29, 2008 5:30 pm

Yes I'll bit too...BEA where exactly? and When?

Subject: Re: BEA Sat Mar 29, 2008 8:02 pm

Obviously we are not all on the same page. I can tell BEA are initials for something, but I don't have a clue what!!

BEA = BookExpo America

Google it.

Sorry Sue, but folks throw out so many initials these days I would be googling all day trying to figure out what each of them were getting at. Sorry if that came out sounding rude.

I was thinking the Aunt of Mayberry.

I am sorry too, Zada. After reading what I wrote I realized I sounded rude and for that I am sorry. What I meant when I said google it, was if you wanted more info than the name than to google it because I didn't know much more than that. I guess I should have taken the time to say that.

Again I am sorry!

No problem, I didn't think you were being rude. I still think you are great, and I know we can't always tell what vein a written answer is in without face to face contact.

Oooo ladies! I'm a google addict! Here's a link to the BEA website:

Thanks for the link Shelagh! Hey Sue, not to worry, but when I googled BEA, it was somewhere way down the list after a bunch of stuff about economics...so I was without clue. I knew someone would answer.

So to answer the original question, I won't be at BEA, although I see that Jeff Bezos from Amazon will be there, and wouldn't it be something to get on that interview panel and ask What the Heck Are they Thinking at Amazon these days?? (this is a not so subtle ref to the changes in selling POD books, which Amazon is moving away from). Rotters. Mad

I'm almost always at BEA, and expect to be there this year too, but haven't made my flight reservations yet. The answer is, I hope to be there, but it's not 100% certain.

I will be at BEA. Lots of folks I have had the opportunity to network with online will likely be there too. If you get into LA a few days early there is the PMA Conference. The 2008 Publishing University.

I will be presenting a session at PMA called How to Promote and Sell eBooks in a Multimedia World. If you're planning on attending would love for you to stop into my session.
