I'll be around until Sunday morning for those of you local to New York.
How to Recognize me:
I smile. A LOT. And laugh even more. I won't be dressed as fancy as I am in my profile picture. This was at my sister's wedding, but I'll probably be this happy at BEA, too.
I spent my haircut budget on books (twice over), so my hair is going to be really long at BEA.

How will I recognize you at BEA?

Steph I am looking forward to meeting you. I see we will be crossing paths alot at BEA. I am hoping to get to a few of those signings too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to it! Hopefully we can grab places together in some of these lines!
DeleteHi, Steph! I look forward to meeting you! We will be going to much of the same signings and I will also be at BBC. Less than a week now!
ReplyDeleteCoffee first thing Monday morning! Can't wait to meet you.
DeleteWell, thanks for helping me stalk you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteAlso meant to say -- love the long hair!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really torn between the two afternoon sessions of BBC. But I take great notes and am happy to share!
Thank you! We'll have to split up and swap notes!
DeleteYou'll recognize me because I'll be following you around to all the awesome booths! I haven't figured out my schedule yet, because I'm a very, very unorganized fly by the seat of your pants kind of person, but you listed some authors I NEED to see! I'll be at the blogger con, and I'll be wearing bright dresses and flowers in my hair :D
ReplyDeleteThat means you'll be easy to spot, I hope. This is going to be so much fun. There are SO MANY amazing authors that are scheduled to be there.
DeleteI know! I'm SO EXCITED. I finally figured out my overly ambitious schedule. Just posted it!
DeleteYes!! We have lots of overlap!
DeleteLOL! It looks like a heck of a schedule. Have fun.
ReplyDeletePS. I'm always posing with statues too. What's up with that?
Statues are AWESOME! I'm glad I'm not alone in my strange obsession.
DeleteI'll be the one with the NY accent.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing it.
DeleteI will be next to Steph most of the time, I will be the slouchy one with no sense of style. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo... I should drag you Tim Gunn signing Tim Gunn's Fasion Bible?
DeleteSo excited that BEA is almost here! I'll be the one with the giant red totebag! And the huge grin on my face! :) Plan on going to several of the same signings, so will keep an eye out for you!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I'll keep an eye out for your red totebag!!
DeleteI'm not going, but it sounds so fun! So, BEA sounds like it's mostly for readers, fans and bloggers. Is there a writing conference as well, or more focused on promo for books? There are so many conferences out there I can't keep them all straight just yet.
ReplyDeleteI see BEA is the same time as E3 on the other coast. My twitter feed is going to be nuts!
Readers, fans, and bloggers are actually pretty new to BEA. It's the biggest publishing conference of the year, mainly for all the publishers to launch their fall line up. I'm butchering the description, but I hope that makes sense. It's more focused toward selling books (lots of whole sale buyers, I think), so not really writing centered. LOL. For writing, I want to check out scbwi and rwa. They are supposed to put on great conferences!
DeleteYeah... your twitter feed might die next week. :)
"And if you see someone posing with a statue... it's probably me." LOL!
ReplyDeleteAaahh! It looks like you're going to be going to so many cool signings and speeches! That's it. I'm GOING TO GO to BEA one of these days. I hope to be able to go next year, but if not, definitely in 2014!!!
YES! And convince Court to come! She grabbed that second job and I think part of that money should go into a BEA fund every week.
DeleteWell, I know I'm wearing black pants on Tuesday and Wednesday, one day with a salmon colored top the other with a blue-green top and I'm wearing jeans on Thursday with a flower print top since things will be winding down lol! But with all the people going and saying what they look like I'm sure I'll forget anyway, but if I see you I'll make sure to introduce myself. I'm going to be at the Random House breakfast too, so I'll definitely see you there!
ReplyDeleteYes! Looking forward to meeting you! I was worried that I wouldn't know anybody, but I think there are going to be a ton of awesome bloggers there! That's a good point about Thursday... maybe I'll wear jeans that day too... I'm definitely wearing a dress at least two days....possibly three.
DeleteYou are going to have such an amazing time! I'm so excited for you guys! If you happen to spot David Levithan, you know just wondering around, make sure to tell him that you are friends with his biggest stalker! I'd appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteYou have to come next year!
DeleteLooking forward to meeting you Steph!!! :):):)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to meeting you Steph!!! :):):)
ReplyDeleteYou too!
DeleteLooking forward to meeting you Steph!!! :):):)
ReplyDeleteWhoa delete all those duplicate comments..,don't know what happened there.
ReplyDeleteYou were reeeeeally excited. :)
DeleteHope to meet you there! On Monday I'll probably be at the Critical Review as well, and I'll definitely be at Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys signing. I'll probably be at a few of the other places you've mentioned, so it's likely I'll see you around!
ReplyDeleteI'll look out for you at Critical Reviews and Maggie Stiefvaters signing. I hope to meet you! Every blogger I've met so far has been AMAZING.
DeleteI will be at BEA on Thursday so hopefully we will run into each other :)
ReplyDeleteI'll look out for you! There's some great stuff going on on Thursday!
DeleteHey, are you still going to the Carnival tonight? I think i am going to get my HW done in time!! EXCITING, but I have no idea what to expect.
