Unlike here, the weather in New York was HOT! HOT! HOT! The skies were clear, the sun was shining and the air conditioning was putting in overtime. Thimble the Fairy flew in from Colorado, playing her flute while dancing in character around the convention center to promote her new book. BEA visitors were drawn to her positive energy, whimsical costume, and sparkly fairy dust. Thimbles book signing was a success and helped drive traffic to our booth. We introduced Thimble as one of our clients who participated in our 360° Books services which includes; Hard Bound Book, Interactive App, e-Book, and Audio/Video. The booth at the show looked wonderful, and we were able to capture some really strong leads as well as meet several great people. It wouldn’t be BEA without a famous encounter and in this case we had TWO (not including Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and Elmo spotted in Times Square)!

Authors and readers are no longer restricted to bookstores and libraries, instead they can choose from multiple facets of electronic devices as well as a variety of different media outlets. Even though the physical element of turning the page may be gratifying and familiar, the convenience of simply clicking a button for instant access to unlimited resources online may turn reading a bound book into an old habit. If you are an avid reader, writer, editor, or publisher, Book Expo America, located at the Javits Center in New York City is the place to be, come May 30th-June 1st. Exhibitors at BEA will be introducing a variety of new products and services on how writers can effectively reach their readers with the use of different mediums. In addition this special event allows readers to come face to face with up–and–coming, bestseller, and, fan favorite, authors. The ADS Group will also be attending BEA to meet with new and existing clients, in addition...
