Can Anyone Compete with Amazon?

By Jim Milliot
With Amazons Tuesday
evening blog post that it
doesnt expect its dispute
with the Hachette Book
Group to end any time
soon, the standoff between
the company and one of its
vendors is once again showing just how much leverage
the online giant enjoys in
the book marketplace.
Research conducted in
March by the Codex Group
found that in the month
Amazons share of new
book unit purchases was
41%, dominating 65% of all
online new book units, print
and digital. The company
achieved that percentage
by not only being the largest
channel for e-books, where
it had a 67% market share
in March, but also having a
commanding slice of the
sale of print books online,
where its share in March
was estimated at 64%.
Amazon and Barnes &
Noble are the only two book
outlets that have a meaningful share of both the
e-book and print markets,
assets that are becoming
increasingly important as
book buyers turn more and
more to online channels to
purchase books. According
to the newest figures from
Nielsen Market Research,
online outlets accounted for
41% of book purchases in
2013, while bookstore
chains accounted for 22%.
While all bricks-and-mortar stores still sell more
books than online retailers,
the trend, despite the slowdown in the growth of
e-books, continues to move
in favor of online sales. In
part, that is due to the growing share of print book sales

Books, Technology, and

The Culture of Distraction
By Calvin Reid
Kicking off this years IDPF Digital
Book Conference at BEA, author
Nicholas Carr, known for his skeptical examinations of the impact of
digital technology on our brains,
outlined a book industry that is faring well despite early industry
apprehension over technology.
Despite all this good newshis

general and e-books specifically,
Carr concluded, The mind we read with is different in a
book and ultimately is in conflict with the growth of technology all around us. He was followed by a lineup of speakers
offering just the opposite viewpoint: enthusiastic presentations on just how the world of traditional books, e-books, and
broader technological development are transforming the
book industry for the better.
From executives like Scholastics Lori Benton, librarian
Peter Brantley, and self-publishers like Bella Andre, one
speaker after another seemed to diverge or simply ignore
this conflict between the mind on books and the mind on
books using technology. Indeed, the discussion focused more
on how publishers, retailers, and libraries are all
using technology in some
form to connect more people than ever to books. It
was only Carrs conclusionresist the culture of
distraction, as he called
the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and digital
reading devices in generalthat everyone following him seemed to ignore.
Most famous for books
like The Shallows: What the
Internet Is Doing to Our
Brains and The Glass Cage:
Automation and Us (Norton),
Carr led off this years conference by noting that even
todays digitally enabled
book market doesnt look
that different from the preKindle market, before 2009.
E-books, he said, are not a
replacement for print books
but a complement to print,
like audiobooks. Indeed each

Can Anyone Compete with Amazon? continued from page 1
www.bookexpoamerica.com
focused on driving prices as low as

possible. The perception of
Amazon as the cheapest place to
buy books, enhanced by its combining books with high ticket items
with free shipping, gives the company a tremendous advantage over
both online and physical bookselling competitors, says Peter HildickSmith, CEO of the Codex Group.
Hildick-Smith believes that if publishers want to help ensure a
diverse marketplace, they need to
move back to agency pricing on
e-books once the court-order
restrictions expire, and to return to
windowingfollowing the film
industrys successful model of
releasing new content in premium
format first, followed by discount
formats in later releases. HildickSmith has been a longtime supporter of windowing as a way to
give bricks-and-mortar store a
chance to do what they do best,
noting that Amazons own bestseller
publishing program has struggled
without physical-world retailer
support. (One possible roadblock to
windowing are reports that Amazons
contract prohibits windowing.) He
sees delaying the release of e-book
editions as similar to movie companies delaying the release of DVD
editions of films to support the discovery of new films that is best
delivered in theaters. He acknowledges that moving to windowing
would mean that publishers would
need to market both title releases,
but believes that the combined sales
of a print first release and delayed
digital edition would be more than
what publishers are earning from
the simultaneous release of hardcover and e-book formats, and just
as important, would help maintain
a diverse book marketplace. The
way current trends are going now,
Hildick-Smith says, in a couple of
years the American book market
could look a lot like the U.K. market, with relatively few bricks-and
mortar stores as more and more
book-buying goes online.
Ardy Khazaei, former Bookish
CEO and now an industry consultant, also believes a move to agency
pricing would help other companies compete more effectively with
Amazon, at least on the e-book
front. Publishers also need to be
prepared to change and broaden
their marketing messages to let
consumers know where they can
buy books other than Amazon,
especially if they get in a dispute
with the company. Publishers,
Khazaei says, should have a plan
for what they will do if Amazon
negotiations turned nasty, as they
already have with Hachette. One
part of that strategy could be for
trade houses to get more serious
about selling directly to consumers
through their own sites and from
their authors sites. Most large publishers have been slow to move to
direct selling for a number of reasons, including the fear of annoying

their retail partners. But while publishers hesitate, war [with
Amazon] is coming, he says. The
best way to be prepared is to have
alternative outlets where they can
direct consumers to buy their

booksbut this requires developing direct-to-consumer relationships in order to notify consumers
of title availability and easy access
to alternative retail options with
the click of a button.
Ingram, Edelweiss Combine for Catalogues

Ingram Content Group is partnering with Edelweiss, whose parent
company is Above the Treeline, to
create print-on-demand catalogues for publishers. ATT CEO
John Rubin sees three markets for
the POD service: publishers who
have moved mainly to digital catalogues, but have accounts that
would prefer print; publishers
who still use print catalogues, but
would like to eliminate overprinting; and international publishers.
Under the partnership,
Edelweiss has developed a new
interface that will allow publishers to create their own templates
that will enable them to develop
customized catalogues. Weve
heard of a lot of cases where sales
reps print out copies of their catalogues for certain accounts, but
this will give a more polished look

to those efforts, Rubin says. Once
a publisher creates a catalogue,
Ingram will print it from the
plant closest to the intended
recipients and also handle distribution.
Initial interest has been strong
for the service, according to Kelly
Gallagher, v-p of content acquisition North America for Ingram,
particularly for the customized
option. The days of large catalogues are gone, but publishers
still have areas where customized
catalogues are still needed, he
notes. There are no minimums or
limits to the number of copies
Ingram can print. Pricing is still
being finalized for the new service,
which is expected to go live this

that are now online. Additional

research from Nielsen shows that
e-commerce channels commanded
almost the same percentage of unit
sales of hardcovers and trade paperbacks as the bookstore chains in 2013.
With Amazon so deeply entrenched
in selling both print and digital
books, can any retailer compete
with them? While B&N is best positioned to do so, its e-commerce
operation has been a disappointment and has been undergoing an
overhaul for months. Last August,
B&Ns Mitch Klipper said during a
conference call discussing results,
We plan to launch a new e-commerce website next year. Klipper
added that the new BN.com site
will enhance our search and accuracy, provide faster shipping, and
yield some cost savings. A spokesperson for B&N could not provide
more details on when the new site
may go live, saying an update may
come in B&Ns June earnings report.
Independent booksellers have
been slowly increasing their online
presence. According to ABA CEO
Oren Teicher, the associations
IndieCommerce product has been
serving about 375 member stores,
with those outlets seeing a 5% sales
increase in online print books in 2013.
In addition to added sales, Teicher
says the ABA believes a consumers
ability to connect with independent
stores online via IndieCommerce is
contributing to the growth of in-store
sales. We are currently in the midst
of upgrading the IndieCommerce
platform to take advantage of newer
and faster technology, and we fully
expect additional stores to join the
program later this year when the
upgrade is completed, Teicher said.
Another organization that is looking to ramp up the online business
of its customers is the wholesaler
Readerlink. The company has been
offering a program that allows mass
merchandisers and other accounts
to sell print books online and is close
to rolling out its first e-bookstores
to accounts. In January, Readerlink
signed with Berlin-based txtr to be
the exclusive U.S. partner for its
e-book offering, which now has one
million e-books. David Barker, president of Readerlink Digital, says a
number of mass merchandisers
and grocery stores are exploring
the new platform, and he expects
some e-bookstores to launch by late
summer. A website that offers both
print and digital books will prevent
stores from driving customers away
who are looking for a particular
title, Barker says.
Competing with Amazon, even to
carve out a slice of the market, is a
daunting task. The company has a
number of by now obvious advantages: scale, resources, and a diverse
product line that can let the company treat books as loss leaders if it
so chooses. The company, as has
been well documented, is also

Show Them the Money

On Wednesday afternoon at Helping Bookstores, Saving Lives, James
Patterson made a number of booksellers happy when he named the recipients of a second round of grants totaling $268,000 to 43 booksellersat least
one of whom came specifically to BEA to pick up her check. The grants are
part of a million-dollar giveaway by Patterson to independent booksellers
who promote childrens books. In February, he mailed the first installment
of just over $267,000 to 54 bookstores and the Northern California
Independent Booksellers Association for California Day. Nearly half a million dollars will be distributed later this year.
At the announcement,
Patterson was joined by
booksellers who were
part of the first round of
the million-dollar giveaway. Mitchell Kaplan,
owner of Books & Books,
headquartered in Coral
Gables, Fla., who received
a grant to donate books to
students who cant afford
to buy them at author
events, served as moderator, along with two other
grant recipients: Dave

of Little Shop of Stories in
Decatur, Ga., and Karen West, director of events and conferences for Book
Passage in Corte Madera, Calif. The former had applied for money to retrofit
a school bus, renamed Maximum Ride, to bring books to school book fairs.
The latter wanted to buy a van to do more book fairs and wanted to expand
Book Passages Giving Tree program to provide free books for underprivileged children year-round.
Bricks-and-Mortar Rebounding

One of the qualifications to receive grant money is that the store must
have a childrens section, said Patterson. Theres so much black-andwhite thinking in this country now, and reading gives kids the chance to
look at ideas as being more complicated than that. It was noted that
beyond the money itself, which many recipients used to coordinate more
book events in schools, the free publicity Pattersons generosity activates
brings much needed attention to indies and the communities they serve.
The second round of grants will go to stores like Vromans Bookstore in
Pasadena, Calif., to reinstate its Young Readers League, which encourages
a love of reading in kids in grades 37; Changing Hands in Tempe, Ariz., to
encourage reading at its soon-to-be-opened store in Phoenix; and R.J. Julia
Booksellers in Madison, Conn., to expand its Authors to Schools program
and provide books for students in low-income schools. Other recipients
include Annie Blooms Books in Portland, Ore.; Bank Square Books in
Mystic, Conn.; Watchung Booksellers in Montclair, N.J.; and Green Apple
Books in San Francisco.
A bookseller in the audience asked Patterson a question that seemed to
be on a lot of peoples minds: why arent more authors helping indies out
financially? A lot of authors do a lot of good things already, said Patterson.
Many of them have their own programs. Still, panel moderator Kaplan
urged other authors to jump on the bandwagon.
In choosing how bookstores are selected, Patterson told PW, I have
worked to identify independent stores for whom this money may make a
difference, and stores that were already doing good work. I also received
bookstore recommendations from fellow authors, publishers, friends, and
family. Because I didnt want to miss any great stores, I also put up a link on
my website where independent booksellers and bookstore shoppers can
share their favorite independent bookstores, and over 12,000 people have
done just that.
Patterson might give away another million dollars to indies next year.
Lets make bookstores better, he said to a delighted gathering. Before the
list of new recipients was announced, Patterson pointed to the C-Span cameraman in the back of the room and said to viewers, As soon as this show
ends, I want you to go to an independent bookstore and buy some books.
He received a standing ovation.

Ambassador John Ingram

In a ceremony late Wednesday
afternoon, John R. Ingram, chairman
and CEO of Ingram Content Group
and chairman of Ingram Industries
Inc., was presented with the BEA
Ambassador Award. During the
presentation, BEA director Steve
Rosato recognized John Ingram for
his vision and dedication to advancing
the book industry through an
innovative and continuously
evolving approach to helping
publishers, retailers, libraries, and
schools succeed.
Ambassador Ingram (l.) with BEAs Rosato.
Im honored to receive the BEA
Ambassador Award, said Ingram. Our mission at Ingram Content Group
is to help our partners navigate and succeed in todays dynamic and
evolving marketplace. Involved in the book business since his father
E. Bronson Ingram purchased a small textbook depository in 1964, John
Ingram has led Ingram Content Groups transformation to a full-service
publishing industry services company.
Book Technology, and the Culture of Distraction continued from page 1
e-book for a crowded subway train, but want a print book at home, and many
want one of each, he said. Digital reading hasnt divided along generational
lines, he said, noting that the average age of a print reader is 41 and the average age of an e-book reader is 42; and 75% of students prefer print textbooks.
As it turns out, Carr said, while e-books might very well replace other
formatsmass market paperbacks, for instancethey havent affected
hardcover nonfiction. In fact, theyve brought new readers to books that may
never have bought a book before.
The bad news is that theres a conflict between the culture of the book
and the culture of the computer, he says. Reading produces a trance-like
state, he said, in which we disengage from the busy world, transported from
societythats the power of a print book. Smartphones, on the other hand,
plunge you deeply into the whirlpool of life, not into reflection, he said,
adding that tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google create devices
designed to extract fees and revenue.
Peter Brantley, digital librarian and PW columnist, followed Carr and
offered a presentation focused principally on the issues raised in the first
half of Carrs talk. He noted quickly that the book is not the format, but the
expressions within it, and offered a broad survey of how libraries are using
technology to bring the culture of the book to more people than ever.
Brantley touched on the pervasiveness of public libraries: wherever roads
cross you see a public library, even in the smallest and most remote town in
the U.S. He noted that libraries are planning next generation book festivals while acting as urban data centers.
Former Hachette executive Maja Thomas moderated a high-powered
panel of publishing executives, and they too seemed unconcerned about a
conflict between reading and a device-enabled future. HarperCollinss Josh
Marwell (as well as others) discussed how digital publishing means that publishers must experiment and think and act globally, adding that sometime
in the future, China will be the largest English-speaking country in the
world. Lori Benton noted that teens are reading and switching between
print and digital. Theyre reinventing storytelling, and publishers are finding out what kids like to read and hitting them with more of what they like.
The self-publishing panelfeaturing celebrity self-publishers Bella Andre,
Barbara Freethy, and Hugh Howeytalked about Howeys Authorearnings
.com site, which is mining data on how much money self-publishers are
making. A lot of people are making a living, making six figures a month
and reading, and writing is healthier than its ever been, said Howey. All
the panelists spoke of the growth of POD. The digital self-publishing revolution is coming to print eventually, Andre said, also noting global demand,
the importance of backlist, and the need for very successful self-publishers
to hire their own CEOs or CFOs at a certain point in their development.
Goodreads Otis Chandler talked about the growth of the platform under
Amazon, adding Goodreads to the Kindle platform, and the increase in
mobile book recommendations through the Good Reads app and the power
of social media to elevate the success of a good book. To end the morning
session, Kobos Michael Tamblyn invoked the Amazon/Hachette feud, outlining just how Kobo manages to compete with the ferocious entity whose
name we cant say. Tamblyn outlined Kobos strategy of working with a variety of publishers and retailers in international markets as partners, not as a
distributor. How does Kobo manage to compete? Tamblyn said, Kobo competes with Amazon using the one thing that Amazon doesnt have: friends.

Shaking Up the Narrative Structure

There isnt a lot of handholding in The Wrenchies
(First Second, Sept.).
Farel Dalrymples forthcoming book is the cartoonists most ambitious
work to date. The 304page volume is sprawling
and epic, slashing back
and forth between different landscapes and realities, and Dalrymple does
little to comfort the reader. Im curious to see what people think of the
narrative structure, says Dalrymple.
I like things that are challenging
like Pulp Fiction. That had a different
narrative structure, but it seemed
to do all right for all of the other
reasons that made it good. So hopefully, with the artwork that I did and
the subject, people will be on-board
and will let go of their preconceptions
about how a comic book is told.
To date, Dalrymple is best known
for his art work on Marvels Omega
the Unknown, a 2007 miniseries
reboot of a long-forgotten 70s superhero penned by novelist Jonathan
Lethem, as well as his own ongoing
Dark Horse series, Pop Gun War.
The Wrenchies shares a number of
characteristics with the latter,
I lo
namely youthful protagonists adrift in a mysterious world.

Ive drawn since being
a little kid, thinking the
world is confusing, the
cartoonist says, using
the word isolated to
describe both his own
childhood and the lives
of the children who
inhabit his stories. Thats
the well Im drawing from, this particular place in my youth where I
was the most excited about making

things. I wasnt as cynical as I am now.
There were some scary, weird things
that happened to me back then. Its
more interesting to attempt to process those things as a kid than as an
adult whos already seen everything.
Its these childhood themes,
Dalrymple imagines, that has lead
The Wrenchies to be classified as
young adult. It also likely has to do
with the books publisher, First

Shoplifter was gestating for a

Initially, it was planned
to be part of a book of five
interrelated short stories, but while I was writing, it grew longer and

it should be a stand-alone

But Dalrymple warns that The
Wrenchies hasnt shied away from
more adult content: I would not
necessarily give it to a teenager to
look at, because there are people
doing drugs and things. I just wanted
to make it a book that I wanted to
read.
Today, 45 p.m., Dalrymple is

*Quantities limited; while supplies last.
In November of 2012 Herman Wouk, at age 97, spoke to Brooks Barnes of the
New York Times about his newest book, The Law Giver, which had just been
published by Simon & Schuster. But when Wouk utters the names Simon &
Schuster he doesnt necessarily mean the publishing company. Barnes notes
that the author is old enough to remember Simon and Schuster as actual
people, and Wouk opines that they were as different as chalk and cheese.
Perhaps that explains why the first two books published in 1924 were The
Crossword Puzzle Book( Richard L. Simons brainchild) and Will Durants
The Story of Philosophy (Max Lincoln Schusters brainchild). It is this combination of merchandise and serious works of intellectual power that was
so cutting edge and innovative, according to Carolyn K. Reidy, president/
CEO of the publisher today. That breadth has been true of Simon & Schuster
ever since, she continues. Reidy points out that the two founders also came
up with the idea of returns during the Depression, to enable bookstores to
keep ordering, and the idea
of what she refers to as
chatty advertising. In 1930
Essandess, as they liked to
call themselves, launched
From the Inner Sanctum, an
advertising column that ran in
Publishers Weekly and the New
York Times. It dished news
and extolled the virtues of
books coming out of the S&S
meeting room that was known
as the inner sanctum.
Reidy says, Weve come
full circle today, with pubRichard Simon & Max Schuster
lishers eager to communicate directly with readers, albeit in different formats.
Asked if this combination of merchandise and serious
heavy-hitters can be maintained in the digital age,
Reidy states that both will survive, but elucidates
how, with approximately 30% of the reading market
digital, there are differentiations across categories.
She notes that the Duck Commander books are very
big as physical books, while romance titles are highly
digital. Digital is somewhat replacing mass market
publishing, she continues, but using the same tricks Carolyn K. Reidy
and techniques such as introducing authors at lower
price points, starting with genres, and then moving
beyond. Its the same product, the same processes,
but we are reaching readers with new means.
Jonathan Karp, president/publisher of the Simon &
Schuster Publishing group, points out some of the
remarkable examples of longevity. Wouk may be the
leader with a 66 year span, but there are other prominent names who have been with S&S over the
decades: Doris Kearns Goodwin, Bob Woodward,
Jonathan Karp
Mary Higgins Clark, and David McCullough, to name
a handful. Even Hillary Clinton, a most contemporary figure whose new
book is out this June, has an 18-year history with the company.
And then there are the books that never stop selling, from well-known
titles firmly embedded in the literary canon, such as Ray Bradburys
Fahrenheit 451, Joseph Hellers Catch-22, Taylor Branchs Parting the Waters,
and Garry Willss Lincoln at Gettysburg. Karp says, As nonagenarians go,
the publisher is an intellectually vibrant one.
Theres a feisty septuagenarian rocking the house, too. In the late 1930s
Simon, Schuster, and Leon Shimkin, who had joined the company earlier in
the decade, teamed up with Robert Fair de Graff to create the first mass
market publisher in the U.S., and as Louise Burke, president/publisher of
Gallery Books, the unit that includes Pocket Books, says, A revolution was
born. Just as in the 1930s, when distribution was as much a factor in this
revolution as format and pricing, it is again today. Burke readily admits that
the mass market format is changing. Much of what has been the mainstay of
mass market publishingincluding popular fiction and romanceis moving
to digital formats. Burke notes that as mass market provided a second format for authors to reach and grow their fan base, so does digital.
Pockets 75th and S&Ss 90th are being celebrated throughout the year. A
website, A Lasting Imprint. 90 Years of Simon & Schuster (www.simon90.
com), was launched in January. Ninety titles were selected to represent the
S&S library, and there is a consumer contest to win all 90 books. BookCon
goers can enter to win at the Simon & Schuster booth (2639). And a limited
number of tote bagswith bookswill be given away, so its worth it to stop by
and wish a happy anniversary to this venerable publishing dynasty.

Is Hoopla a Game Changer?

There has been a lot of progress in
library e-book lending over the past
two years, but there has been one
frustrating constant: library users
are often less than thrilled with the
services used to provide library
e-books. But that may soon change.
At this years BEA, Midwest Tape is
demoing an e-book lending component to its Hoopla platformand
there are high hopes that the product could be a game-changer.
Officially launched last year,
Hoopla debuted by offering an
impressive collection of movies,
music, audiobooks, and TV shows.
And thus far, librariansand perhaps
more importantly, library users
give the service high marks.
Librarians who are on Hoopla
love it, one librarian, whose library
is about to go live with the service,
tells Show Daily. I think it is the most
intuitive digital product to have
ever entered the library market.
And the app is exactly what users
have come to expect from consumer
sites like Netflix. In fact, I think the
interface is better than Netflix.
There has been increasing competition in the e-booklending market in recent years, with a number
of new platforms and services

emerging. But so far, that competition hasnt made much of an
impact in improving the e-book
lending experience, for users,
libraries, or for publishers, who
have largely chosen caution
over innovation. Hoopla founder
and Midwest Tape v-p Jeff Jankowski,
hopes Hoopla can finally change that.
Unlike the dominant one copy/
one user analog-era e-book lending model, Hooplas service is a
transactional model. We are
totally against the one copy/one
user platform, Jankowski
declares. That platform, and the
whole platform of the physical
library business, or the old video
rental store, was based on dissatisfactionyou almost never get what
you want. If you want the new John
Grisham, for example, chances are
youre going to have to wait three or
four months. Jankowski adds,
With Hoopla, e-books will be
instantly available, 24/7, and every
time a book is borrowed the publisher gets paid. Thats the way it
should be online and through an
app. What we want to do benefits
authors, the reading community,
Hoopla just may be

the product to break
the one copy/one
user ice in library
e-book lending.
Jankowski says the
company is in talks
with many publishers, including all the
majors, and that BEA
will be a busy and
everyone that uses
exciting time. The

China Looks Forward to Expa nd

Communication, Cooperation, an
Next year China is the guest of honor at Book Expo Americas Global Market
Forum and is planning a host of events for the occasion. Vice Minister Wu Shulin
details his countrys goals and expectations in this interview with Publishers
Weekly.
Publishers Weekly: What do you think it means for China to be the guest of honor
at the Global Market Forum of BookExpo America 2015?
Vice Minister Wu Shulin: Since 2005, China has served as the guest of honor at a
number of major international book fairs, including those in Paris, Moscow, Seoul,
Frankfurt, Thessaloniki, Cairo, London, and Istanbul, to be followed by Belgrade in
2014. And in 2015, it will host the Global Market Forum at BookExpo America.
China attaches great importance to participating in all these events as the guest
of honor. First, we wish to have better cultural exchanges and cooperation with
other countries by hosting various activities as the guest of honor. International
book fairs are an important way for China to know the world and the world to learn
about China, and they are also great occasions for cultural communication and
exchanges with countries around the world. As the guest of honor, China will mainly
host publishing activities, while a series of cultural activities will also be staged with
books as the medium. Examples include communication with authors, art exhibitions, cultural forums, etc. By presenting such activities, we aim to showcase the
rich Chinese culture and enhancing communication in the publishing industry.
Second, we wish to encourage Chinese publishers to compete more actively in the
international publishing arena and promote cultural trade. As reform of the
Chinese publishing industry deepens, the industry has seen rapid development and
growing international exchanges and cooperation in recent years. Hosting guest of
honor activities at various major international book fairs has become an important
way for Chinese publishers to expand communication and cooperation with foreign
peers, conduct cooperative publishing and copyright trade, and compete in the
international publishing market.
Chinas participation in the BEA 2015 as the guest of honor bears special meaning in that it will promote mutual understanding of the two peoples, build friendship between the two countries, boost economic and cultural exchanges, and
expand communication and cooperation between publishers on both sides.
PW: What does China expect to achieve at the forum? Do you expect more Chinese
books to enter the American market? Will there be more copyright sales?
We hope and we believe that by being the guest of honor, we will achieve the
following goals:
First, more Chinese books will enter the American market, more cooperation
projects will be launched between Chinese and American publishers, more
Chinese copyrights will be transferred to American publishers, and books will be
translated and published in the U.S. for American readers to read and relish.
Second, more American readers will grow fond of Chinese books, read them,
know more of the economic, political, social, and cultural development of contemporary China, get a deeper understanding of the thoughts and lifestyle of Chinese
people today, and gain better knowledge about the long history and splendid culture and literature of China. Thus, there will be more opportunities for exchanges
of views and ideas, better mutual understanding, and cemented friendship
between the two peoples.
Third, publishing professionals from China and the U.S. can learn from each
other, and in particular, Chinese publishers can learn from their U.S. counterparts.
The U.S. publishing industry takes the lead in the world in many aspects, such as
industrialized publishing development, market-oriented operation, scientific
management, the establishment of a global marketing network, digital publishing
technologies, etc. The publishing industry in China lags behind in many ways, and
more should be done to make continuous improvement.
PW: What do you think of the China-U.S. partnership?
The year 2015 marks the 36th anniversary of China-U.S. diplomatic relations. The
two countries should uphold the principle of mutual respect and win-win cooperation in the development of relations. Today, the world is undergoing great changes,
reforms, and adjustments. Multipolarization and economic globalization deepen,
science and technology leap forward, and more frequent exchanges, integration,
and contention are seen between different thoughts, cultures, and ideas.
Culture knows no border, no limit of time or space. It is colorful and diverse
thanks to communication and integration. Cultural communication, integration,
and innovation continue throughout the entire history of mankind. There are over
200 countries and regions, more than 2,500 ethnic groups, and some 6,000 languages
in the world today. Yet all peoples, regardless of ethnic origin, race, or historic and
cultural background, contribute to the progress of mankind in their unique ways.
The cultural communication and integration process enables us to better understand how rich and diverse our world is. More cultural exchanges, wider cultural
consensus, and greater mutual trust are the aspiration shared by people around
the world, and at the same time a strong driving force behind progress in human

n, and Commerce
civilization, world peace, and development.
Chinas participation in BEA 2015 as the guest of
honor will serve as a great platform for three purposes: First, it enhances mutual understanding
and friendship between the people of the two
countries; second, it promotes economic, science
and technology, and cultural communication
between the two sides and boosts social progress; Vice Minister Wu Shulin looks forward
to Chinas 2015 BEA participation.
third, it expands communication between the two
countries in the publishing industry. Language and books are two major inventions of mankind. They serve as essential tools for the accumulation of knowledge,
wisdom, and experience. By hosting guest of honor activities, we hope to make the
best use of these tools to maximize cultural communication, promote dialogue,
and achieve shared progress and development in the two countries.
PW: What do you expect to learn by participating in the Global Market Forum at
BEA 2015?
Over the past 10 years, the publishing industry in China has undergone the most
intensified reforms and the fastest growth in its history. However, we are highly
aware that compared with the U.S. and other developed countries, China still lags
quite far behind in publishing. A major problem is that the quality of publications
and the benefits they bring are incommensurate to the scale of the industry and
the quantity of publications it offers. The U.S. has a strong foothold in the world
publishing industry. Publishing is done on a very large scale there, and publishers
are conglomerated into large groups specialized in different fields. Many of the
top 10 publishers in the world are from the U.S. The U.S. publishing industry boasts
a mature marketing and operation mechanism, a well-established legal system,
extensive hi-tech application, growth-conducive development strategies, and
innovative and effective professional training policies. All these are what Chinese
publishers should study and learn. BEA is a large and professional expo of books in
English where a wide variety of activities are staged. At such an event, China, as
the guest of honor, should focus cultural exchange and trade. When based on
trade, cultural exchanges will be deeper and more sustainable. In sum, the guest
of honor activities of China at this event are quite important for publishers and
general people of the two countries, as well as bilateral relations.
PW: Could you describe the activities China plans to hold at BEA 2015, either inside
or outside its booths?
We are now making great efforts to draft the overall plan of activities for the event.
As we have done at other international book fairs as the guest of honor, we will
have publishing activities, author activities, and cultural activities. According to
the agreement signed between the two sides, China and the U.S. will hold four
publishing seminars jointly. Various participating Chinese publishing houses will
also have their own seminars, discussions, and forums on different themes, as well
as professional publishing exchanges of other kinds. We intend to invite dozens of
authors to the event, hold dialogues between Chinese and American writers, book
signing events, recitals, etc., to promote exchanges in literature between the two
countries. We may also present several exhibitions and movie shows to boost cultural communication and cooperation.
PW: How many publishing professionals will be at the event (including publishers,
authors, distributors, booksellers, agents, etc.)?
Im not sure how many will be there now. But based on previous experience and
the importance of BEA, I believe quite a large number of Chinese professionals will
be in New York for this event next year, including publishers, authors, booksellers,
distributors, agents, experts, scholars, etc.
PW: How do you select the companies for participation?
All Chinese publishing groups and publishing houses can participate. There will
be no limit. All participating institutions will present their books that cater to the
needs of the international market.
PW: What is the current market trend in China? How big is the market for e-books?
Generally, the Chinese market for printed books is now developing with steady
steps, while the digital publishing market is growing rapidly. In 2012, a total of
414,000 titles were published in China and almost eight billion copies were printed.
Compared with 2011, the number of titles grew by 12.04% (first editions grew by
16.62% and reprints grew by 6.17%), and the number of copies printed grew by
2.85%. The total revenue from publishing, printing, and distribution registered
1,663.53 billion renminbi (RMB), up by 14.2% over the previous year.
Digital publishing has seen new highs one after another in recent years.
Statistics show that in 2012, digital publishing reaped a total of RMB139.549 billion,
40.47% more than the previous year and 11.72% of the total revenue of the press
and publishing industry in China. Digital publishing represents the future of the
publishing industry. Chinese publishing enterprises are encouraged to communicate and cooperate with foreign peers in terms of technology, information, etc., to
jointly promote digital publishing.

A Quartet of Anniversaries
As at shows past, BEA 2014 is an
occasion for childrens publishers
to mark memorable milestones.
Celebrating anniversaries this year
are two companiesDK Publishing
turns 40 and Charlesbridge reaches
the quarter-century markand two
picture books that have become
modern classics: Hershel and the
Hanukkah
Goblins and
Guess How
Much I Love
You, in print for 25 and 20 years,
respectively. Heres a look at publishers plans for commemorating
these events during the show.
DK Publishings 40th anniversary
tagline celebrates 40 Years of
Ideas, and there clearly have been
some good ones conceived over the
decades. DKs origins date to 1974,
when Christopher
Dorling and Peter
Kindersley founded
the company as a
book packager in
London. In 1982, DK
became a publisher
in its own right, and
broke into the childrens market with a
big splash in 1988
with its first titles in
the Eyewitness
series of photographic nonfiction
books. Other highlights of the publishers childrens program were the signings of the DK Star
Wars book publishing contract in 1997
and of the DK LEGO
book publishing contract in 2009. (A fun tidbit about the
second venture: in 2012, the billionth LEGO brick was featured in a
DK LEGO book.)
To tout its anniversary, DK company has developed a yearlong,
online promotional program providing resources for educators and
parents to use DK releases in creative ways, including suggestions
for tying the books into such seasonal themes as summer reading,
back-to-school, and holidays. At
BEA, booksellers can pick up a 40th
anniversary tote bag at the booth
(1529) and enter the DK 40 Years of
Ideas Grand Prize Trip to London
sweepstakes for a chance to win a
three-day, four-night trip to London
for two. The raffle (also featured on
the DK website) is open to booksellers, librarians, and any others who
work in the bookselling industry. In
celebration of four successful

decades of publishing, DK will host
a Champagne toast at the booth
today at 3 p.m.
The folks at the Charlesbridge
booth (2950) are also making merry
this afternoon, and invite booksellers to drop by at 2 p.m., when cake
and Champagne will be served in
honor of the
publishers
25 years of
independent
publishing. In attendance will be
author Paul Reynolds and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds, who will sign
copies of their upcoming book,
Sydney & Simon: Full Steam Ahead!
Over the years, Charlesbridges
list has diversified from its nature
and environmental roots to include
storybooks, math
adventures, beginning readers, and
middle-grade novels. The publishers
mission is to provide
books for children
that promote a positive worldview and
embrace a childs
innate sense of wonder and fun. Its roster of authors
include Jane Yolen,
Eve Bunting, Pam
Muoz Ryan, Jerry
Pallotta, and Grace
Lin. In addition to
the Reynolds brothers book, highlights
of Charlesbridges
fall list include Lola
Plants a Garden by
Anna McQuinn and
two new board books
by David McPhail:
Pig Pig Walks and Pig Pig Talks.
Showcased at the Holiday House
booth (956) is the 25th edition of one
of the publishers strongest sellers,
Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins
by Eric A. Kimmel, illustrated by
Trina Schart Hyman. What began as
an experiment by Kimmel, to see if
he could create a Hanukkah story
along the lines of Dickenss A
Christmas Carol, took on a life of its
own after it was first published in
the December 1985 issue of Cricket
magazine with two-color illustrations by Hyman. In 1989, John
Briggs, Holiday House president
and publisher and a longtime
admirer of Hyman and her work,
published Hershel and the
Hanukkah with full-color illustrations by Hyman.
Included in the 25th anniversary
edition is an afterword with

notes from
Kimmel and
Briggs, recalling their relationship with the illustrator, who
died in 2004. I was overcome,
recalls Kimmel of learning that
Hyman was to illustrate his story in
Cricket. Although I had been
introduced to Trina on a few occasions, I never imagined she would
illustrate a story of mine. I was
thrilled at my good fortune. Talk
about thrilled, adds Briggs. We
adored Tinas art almost as much
as we adored her, so as soon as we
read Erics story, we rushed to sign
up the book. Our contract with Eric
was the first of many in what has
proven to be an especially gratifying relationship.
Candlewick has devoted a portion of booth 2857 to its celebration
of the 20th anniversary of Guess
How Much I Love You, Sam
McBratneys story of the deep and
tender bond between parent and
child, featuring watercolors by
Anita Jeram. To commemorate the
anniversary, the publisher is raffling off a Guess How Much I Love
You gift basket, containing child-
size Nutbrown
Hare ears, as
well as 20th
anniversary
chocolate bars.
Due in October is a 20th anniversary edition of the book, which
includes notes from the author and
illustrator. In a 2011 speech at the
National Book Festival, McBratney
praised both Jerams art and the
design of the book, which has been
translated into 53 languages and
sold 28 copies worldwide across
various formats, but credited much
of its success to another factor.
I have to tell you that in my
opinion, the booksellers of
America made this book what it is
today, says the author. And I
dont just mean the initial big
orders from major players in the
business. I include the independent bookshops, who awarded the
book the ABBY in 1995. The best
thing about a book like Guess is
this: I know that somewhere in the
world a mum or dad will reach for a
copy of something Ive written and
read it to the most precious thing
they have in the world. That
thought really pleases me.

Editors Busy Buzzing

BEA attendees faithfullyand
eagerlyflock to two panels that
have become popular staples of the
shows programming. At todays
Young Adult Editors Buzz Panel,
five editors share news of a forthcoming novel for which each has
high hopes. At tomorrows companion panel, five editors of new middle-grade books will do the same.
The Young Adult Editors Buzz
Panel takes place this morning,
1010:50 a.m., in Room 1E4/1E15. In
a discussion moderated by Valerie
Koehler of Blue Willow Bookshop in
Houston, Tex., the following editors
will talk about these novels: Daniel
Ehrenhaft, editorial director, Soho
Teen (Im Glad I Did by Cynthia
Weil); Krista Marino, executive editor, Delacorte Press (Frank
Portmans King Dork
Approximately); T.S. Ferguson,
associate editor, Harlequin Teen
(Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin
Talley); Karen Chaplin, editor,
HarperTeen (Amy Ewings The
Jewel); and Alvina Ling, executive
editorial director, Little, Brown
Books for Young Readers (The
Walled City by Ryan Graudin).

Ehrenhaft will share his enthusiasm for a debut novel by an author
who has often been in a different
spotlight. A member of both the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the
Songwriters Hall of Fame, and a
multi-Grammy winner, Cynthia
Weil has written (along with Barry
Mann, her writing partner and husband) such classic songs as On
Broadway, We Gotta Get Out of
This Place, and Youve Lost That
Lovin Feeling. Set in 1963
Manhattan, her novel, Im Glad I
Did, tells of a young songwriter who
must untangle a sinister web of hidden identities and dark secrets surrounding a legendary former nightclub singer.
Though the novel is set at the
same time as when Cynthia got her
songwriting start, its not strictly
autobiographical, yet the voice is
very authentic, says Ehrenhaft.
Like her spare, lyrical songwriting
style, she writes fiction very economically, which really appeals to
me. I am so happy to talk about
Cynthia on todays panelI could

and dragons. At the center of the
story is a girl who learns what it
truly means to be a princess, and
realizes surprising things about
herself, her family, human compassion, and inhuman cruelty.
When I first heard mention of
princess, I gave a tiny inward
groan, recalls Besser. There have
been so many princess stories, but
as soon as I began reading, I was
taken by this fun and clever novel,
which manages to feel both fresh
and classic. These are princesses
who are brave, strong, and real
theyre characters you immediately want to spend time

option to Lionsgate, with Reese
Witherspoon attached and
producing through her company, Pacific Standard.

Though Eric made what one might

out other women and
girls who wear black.
Then she said, Mama,
princesses dont wear
black. That was my
aha moment.
Hale says she

and story, and drew some additional
inspiration from classic heroes like
the Scarlett Pimpernel and Zorro. I loved

Charting a New
Course
Changing writing gears a bit, Hale
took on two projects that are part of
ongoing series. Ive written in someone elses universe twice this year,
she says. The second of Hales novels
in Little, Browns Ever After High
series, about a school for the children
of fairy tale characters (and tied to
the Mattel line of merchandise),
Ever After High: The Unfairest of
Them All hit shelves in March. With
this kind of book, its a real benefit
for me to be able to reach kids who
arent always readers, says the
author. They may get hooked by the
videos or the dolls. But I put a lot of
pressure on myself to write a book

thats captivating enough that they
want to come back.
Hale has also penned Spirit Animals: Book 4: Fire and Ice (Scholastic,
June) in the popular multiplatform,
fantasy-adventure series. Its set in
the Arctic with polar bears and seals
and walruses, Hale says. I did a lot
of research and read about Shackletons expedition. I was able to repurpose facts into a fantasy environment. When I was finished, I realized
[the story] a tragedy, which is a first
for me, and its been an interesting
experience. She signs copies of The
Unfairest of Them All and ARCs of
Fire and Ice today, 2:303:30 p.m., at

Table 18 in the Autographing

Area.
Hale just wrapped up a tour for
her YA sci-fi adventure, Dangerous (Bloomsbury, Mar.) and has
just finished the final draft of the
third and final Princess Academy
book, called Forgotten Sisters. The
novel is due out next March from
Bloomsbury. Musing on the time it
took to end the series, she says, I
think the success of Princess Academy was a little daunting to me. I
didnt want to disappoint fans, if
what I thought happened next
wasnt what they imagined happened next. It was a challenging
story to tacklebut thats when I get
Spotlight

Talking up so many projects will
keep Hale hopping at BEA, but one
of her favorite things about this
years conference was the opportunity to cut up with her childrens
author and illustrator pals in last
nights variety show during the Childrens Book Art Auction, whose proceeds benefit the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression. Following her signings today,
Hale heads home to Utah. I try to be
home as much as I can, she adds.
So my travel schedule is never padded. We love family time, just reading books and playing games. If
only she had a cape...

Childrens authors and books will,

as always, be well represented at
this years Indies Choice Book

takes place during todays

Andrew Marra for A Constellation
of Vital Phenomena (debut book)
is Rainbow Rowell, whose YA
novel, Eleanor & Park (St. Martins
Griffin), was named the Indies
Choice YA Novel of the Year for its
portrayal of two teens whose relationship crosses racial boundaries.
Rowell, who flew in from Omaha
to attend todays luncheon, says
she is thrilled to be recognized
by indie booksellers. Ive been
able to visit dozens of independent
bookstores since Eleanor & Park
came out, and the best part is
always hanging out with stores
owners and staff, she says.
Theyre such passionate, smart
peopleits an honor to know they

The E.B. White Read-Aloud
Awards are given to authors whose
childrens books independent
booksellers deem to be their favorite read-aloud titles to hand-sell.
The ABAs announcement of these
awards praises each winning title

for reflecting the playful, wellpaced language, the engaging
themes, and the universal appeal
embodied by E.B. Whites collection of beloved books.
Receiving the E.B White ReadAloud Award in the picture book
category is Drew Daywalts The
Day the Crayons Quit (Philomel),
illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.
Daywalt, who traveled from his
Los Angeles hometown for todays
ceremony, says that winning the
award is one of the highlights of
his career, not just because E.B.
White was a rock star to me, but
also because it means booksellers

Whats Happening on
the High Line
Welcome to the Javits Center and the endlessly
transforming neighborhood of Hells Kitchen/
West Chelsea/ Hudson Yards. Things have
changed considerably since last you donned
your sensible convention shoes. Get thee to the
High Line for a restorative promenade through
Manhattans favorite garden in the sky and
have a look for yourself. Here are just a few
threads in the ongoing narrative of this beautiful and exceptional place.
9:30 AM 10:30 AM
New York Times Bestselling Author
LIDIA BASTIANICH
Signing NONNAS BIRTHDAY SURPRISE with a taste
of her new book NONNA TELL ME A STORY:
LIDIAS EGG-CITING FARM ADVENTURE
Whats New
Step outdoors and youll see a massive construction project unfolding in the new district known as Hudson Yards. It embraces
360 acres, stretching north to 43rd Street
and extending from Eighth Avenue to the
Hudson River, but its beating heart is the rail
yards that wrap around the northern end of
the High Line. Michael Bloomberg called
this patch of real estate, which is twice as big
as Rockefeller Center, Manhattans last
frontier. Look closely, and memorize what
you see. The project will unfold over the next
two decades, but today you can witness a
single, distinct moment in the ancient cycle
of urban reconstruction that has defined
New York City since the Dutch first arrived.
Says Joshua David, co-founder of Friends of
the High Line: You could come back every year over the next 20 years and
each time you came, you would see things entirely differently. The High
Line at the Rail Yards, when it opens later this year, will offer the best platform from which to view all this change. As Rick Darke observes in the new
edition of On the High Line, the elevated park is now this citys greatest
runway through time.
Whats Growing
By the time the nations booksellers storm Manhattan, the gardens of the
High Line will be exploding in color. Plants here, unlike most gardens
around the world, are not trimmed back at the onset of chilly weather in
autumn, but are left to shape-shift and transform throughout the colder
months, when they create a starkly beautiful winter landscape. But in the
spring, the High Line gets a haircut. This years annual Cutback ended on
April 4, and while the grasses, shrubs, and perennials are growing like mad,
you can still clearly see the tracks and sleeper beams in the garden beds, a
reminder that this place was once a busy, working railroad. A few favorites
to look out for: Allium Mt. Everest (in the Chelsea Grasslands), which towers
above the others with its distinctive large, round white globe; Cotinus
Grace smokebush (at 10th Avenue Square), a little tree that grows so wild
and crazy by September that one of the High Line gardeners describes it as
Dr. Seuss-y; and Magnolia macrophylla, bigleaf magnolia (at the Flyover),
a tropical-looking plant, with its elephantine leaves, that looks like it comes
straight from the set of Steven Spielbergs Jurassic Park.
Whats Groovin
An essential feature of the High Line is the public art program run by
Friends of the High Line. As if in anticipation of BEA, this months installation on the 18th Street billboardwhere some of the most transporting
graphic art and photography have appeared since the park opened five
years agois Groovin High, Faith Ringgolds vamp on the 1945 Dizzy
Gillespie hit. Ringgold reworked her 1986 story quilt for the High Line, and
its a gift to us all. The piece exudes happiness and the joy of community; in
its presence you may find yourself unable to resist the urge to start dancing,
particularly as the sinuously gorgeous IAC building, a piece of architecture
with its own irresistible rhythm, beckons nearby. Hey, youre on the High
Line; enjoy yourself.
Annik LaFarge is the author of On the High Line: Exploring Americas Most
Original Urban Park, Revised & Updated Edition, preface by Rick Darke,
published by Thames & Hudson (May). She will guide two walking tours of
the High Line for BEA attendees, on Thursday, 4 p.m., and Friday, 4 p.m.
Register at Thames & Hudson booth (1826). Free, but space is limited to 10
per walk. Walk attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the book.

People will be surprised... the bleakness
of my childhood in Scotland.

A Life Revealed
Watching the charismatic actor, Alan
Cumming, on the CBS television show, The
Good Wife, or PBSs Masterpiece Mystery, seeing him in films or on the stage, where hes currently getting raves on Broadway as the emcee
in Cabaret, youd be looking at the picture of
success. But as Cumming reveals in his memoir, Not My Fathers Son (HarperCollins, Oct.),
theres more beneath the surface than you
might surmise. I think people will be surprised by the sheer insanity of the events in my
life and by the bleakness of my childhood in Scotland, he says, adding, and
also how my mom, my brother, and I came out of this horrible situation. Its a
miracle that were all so happy and well-balanced.
Cumming was prompted to reveal his personal story because of what
occurred in the summer of 2010. Hed been asked to appear on a U.K. genealogy show, Who Do You Think You Are, hoping to find out the truth behind the
mysterious death of his maternal grandfather. Coincidentally, the night
before filming started, his older brother came to him with a message from
his father, whom he hadnt seen in 16 years. He told me he was not my real
father, and I was emotionally derailed. But my father was a horrible manI
wanted not to be his son. It was a difficult thing to deal with, so writing the
book was a good way to try and make sense of it all.

The actor is hesitant to talk about the specific traumas of his childhood, but
he admits that he and his brother and mother were victims of their fathers
physical and emotional abuse. How he survived is eye-opening. In writing
this book I realized how much my acting originated from dealing with my
fatherhaving to sense what mood he was in, being able to react quickly and
hide things. Abuse victims have to be so quick on their feet and have a kind of
radar to work out how they need to react, and figure out how the abuser is
behaving. I had to learn very fast traits that are tricks that an actor uses. It
wasnt a very pleasant thing to realize that the origins of my acting came
from such a horrible source, but maybe I wouldnt have been an actor if I
hadnt had the childhood Id had.
Although he went through so many rough patches, Cumming hopes his
story sets a positive example. Theres abuse of all kinds everywhere, and I
think its great to hear stories and see that people can come through it, especially someone like me that people know and think of as a successful person, he says. Theres a kind of a vindication at the end of my bookmy
mother, my brother, and I come through all of this and triumph in that we are
a stronger family then we ever were.
Thanks to his schedule in The Good Wife, which requires him to be in New
York City for roughly nine months of the year, he was able to write his book in
the Writers Room on Broadway and Astor Place. I had a lot of time when I
could be writing. I was so excited to find this room where everyone is just
writing; theres a roomful of people doing exactly the same as you. No one is
allowed to talk and everyone is very respectful. I liked the camaraderie of it.
Cumming is signing galleys of his memoir today at the ticketed signing in
the Autograph Area at Table 3, 12 p.m., and is the emcee for Saturday mornings Adult Book and Author Breakfast, sharing the podium with Martin
Short, Lena Dunham, and Colm Tobn.

After years of trying to write a memoir, Michael

Coffey, the outgoing co-editorial director of
Publishers Weekly, realized that fiction was the
best way to extend ruminations about what it
meant for him to be adopted. It gave me the
freedom to make things up and pursue less the
facts of things than the truth of them, he says.
In his first work of fiction, The Business of Naming Things (Bellevue Literary Press, Jan. 2015),
Coffey explores the topic of identity in eight
short stories. His collection begins with an epigraph from Ulysses that epitomized his personal experience: Whats in a name? That is
what we ask ourselves in childhood when we
write the name that we are told is ours. Coffey
tells Show Daily, This puts simply what I asked
myself for decades. What is my real name? Indeed, it is the naming of
thingswho is called what and by whom, and whythat links these stories,
he says. They are all about digging beneath what people are known as to
what they areor wish to be.
Coffey discovered who his birth parents were a decade ago. Both were
deceased, but he connected with their friends and family members to find
out more about them. His father came to New York City from Philadelphia.
He was trying to be a poet, driving a cab, and looking for Dylan Thomas. He
was also a big James Joyce proselytizer. My mother was trying to make her
way as an actress and dancer. She starred in a Broadway play. And they were
both very Irish. Coffey, raised by a corrections officer and a nurse in a
upstate New York, had no books to speak of in his house. He went to Notre
Dame and spent a year in Dublin. I fell in love with the Irish writers, Joyce
and Yeats. I became the son my birth father might have recognized. Finishing Ulysses, one of the stories in the collection, pays homage to him. It is a
kind of conjuring of his spirit.
BEA 2014 is also Coffeys swan song after 26 years at PW. I couldnt have
dreamed of a better careerworking in an office to which publishers send all
their books. And then to be appearing at the industrys annual event tops it all off.
Coffey is a featured presenter today for BEA Selects, 22:30 p.m., at the
Uptown Stage, after which he will sign galleys in the Bellevue Literary Press
booth (1104B), where his publisher is also giving away a limited edition of coffee mugs, emblazoned Wake Up and Read the Coffey.

In Tavis Smileys personal assessment, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is the
greatest American this country has ever produced. The problem is, as we
approach the 50th anniversary of his assassination, Smiley explains, Kings
persona has been too sanitized, sterilized, and lionized. Writing Death of a
King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s Last Year (Little, Brown.
Sept.) is Smileys way to reclaim the legacy of a man he calls a prophet in a
book that allows people to see the civil right leader in all of his complexity.
The book opens on April 4, 1967, when Dr. King gave a speech at the Riverside Church in Manhattan titled, Beyond Vietnam,
in which he called the United States the greatest
purveyor of violence in the world today. A year
later to the day, Dr. King was killed.
Smiley points out that we live in a country with
MLKs name on street signs and libraries, and his
image is on a postage stamp, but during the
last year of his life King was talking
about the triple threat of racism,
poverty, and militarism in America and everyone turned on
him. Even the liberal media
labeled King anti-American, says Smiley.
Its hard to juxtapose how we deify him
now with how he was

Lisa Howorth
A FamilyTragedy Was Her Inspiration
Coming to BEA with her first novel, Flying

Shoes (Bloomsbury, June), Square Books coowner Lisa Howorth is excited to return to the
show and see it through an author perspective.
Everything about being on this end of a book
has been eye-opening, and things have
changed so much. It will be interesting to see
what its all like now. Its been a few years since
Howorth last came to BEA. While catching up
with old friends and meeting new authors and
booksellers, shell also don her bookstore owners hat and be on the lookout for stock for her
independent bookstore in Oxford, Miss.: Even
though I dont work in the store, Im always
doing double duty at book events as Mrs.
Square Books. In 2013, Square Books was Publishers Weekly Bookstore of the Year.
Flying Shoes is about the unsolved murder of her stepbrother, and
Howorth notes that writing the novel was more than a labor of love for her
brother, family, and the city of Oxford. Writing the novel was also a labor of
revenge, which seems like an unfruitful or unwise motivation for writing, but
there it is, I must admit, Howorth says. My grandfather is Sicilian, and
maybe I got that DNA from him, but writing is a better method of hitting back
than knee-capping or whacking.
Admitting that shes a wuss about a lot of things, including cooties, flying,
Putin and Kim Jong-un, tornadoes, and the unknown in general, when it
comes to her brother, Howorth was fearless in returning to the past to write
Flying Shoes. Fear is part of the damage inflicted by unexpected tragedy.
But whats interesting to me are the ways that people find to overcome that.
Its so much easier to try to forget about it. My family and I are a little creeped
outmy stepbrothers killer is still out therebut I had to tell the story.
To help tell the story, Howorth, a former reference librarian, combined
memories and a vivid imagination. Other than the crime, all the other
events and stories in the novel are made up. I did none of the research about
the murder. One of my brothers did his own investigation of all that. Thanks
to him I was able to use his documentation, although I changed a few small
things. There was a certain catharsis, but its hard to feel completely celebratory about it. You say what you need to, and try to let go, but its never gone.
She hopes readers take heart at the humor in the novel. This might seem
incongruous in a story with a tragedy in the background, but humor is an important defense, or unguent, for our psychic wounds; like religion, it sustains.
Howorth is signing galleys today in the Bloomsbury booth (1749) at 2 p.m.

magazine Man of the Year to persona non grata, and Smiley says his book
about that tumultuous last year addresses the questions of what being
turned on from all corners did to King as a person and a leader with an idea
of truth he held dear.
Thats the story we dont know about him, says Smiley. In Death of a King,
Smiley portrays a real and very human leader, who suffered from depression, drank, and had affairs. Theres nothing new there, says Smiley. But it
tells the truth all the way around. In Death of a King, Smiley hopes to introduce Americans of all ages to the real Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
When you read the book you will love Martin Luther King even more, he
says. He stood flat-footed in his truth and showed the kind of courage, commitment, and conviction we see lacking in our leaders today.
At bottom, King put the idea of love at the center of our public discoursea love that Smiley translates to mean the equal worth of all living
beings just because they exist. I truly believe that the future of our democracy is inexplicably linked to how seriously we take the legacy of Dr. King,
Smiley says. And that legacy, he continues, is justice for all, service to others, and the love that liberates people.
With rhetoric like that, people often ask if Smiley will run for political
office. His answer: no. Smiley says he likes doing his books and his talk
shows, where he can introduce ideas and even Americans to each other.

* While supplies last.
Five years ago, writer Eula Biss, pregnant for

the first time, decided to research the controversial topic of vaccinations. The depth of what
she discovered surprised her, and she ended
up writing On Immunity: An Inoculation
(Graywolf Press, Sept.). The essayist, who won
the National Book Critics Circle award for her
previous book, Notes from No Mans Land, tells
Show Daily, It became a much bigger topic
even after I knew what I was going to do for my
son. I found myself interested in all the other
concepts that clustered around vaccinations. I
realized that its not just about vaccinations, but its about our understanding
of individuality, our beliefs about our bodies, our fears of toxicity, our desire
for purity. Its about our relationship to the government and its about capitalism, paternalism, and environmentalism.
Biss came to the topic with her own prejudices. She, like many new mothers, felt nervous about vaccinating her child. I didnt know what was in vaccines, and Id heard about toxins. I thought there was something counterintuitive about taking a perfectly healthy, brand-new human being and putting
something into him that I didnt understand.
Despite her suspicions and skepticism, she read a diverse array of scientific, anthropological, and social material, even a history of the vaccine resistance movement in Great Britain from 1850 to 1900. She interviewed scientists and immunologists, including Paul Offit, co-inventor of the rotavirus
vaccine, which protects infants against severe diarrhea. She also spoke to
her father, who is a physician. Biss notes, Not only is he pro-vaccine, but
being an oncologist, hes fairly intimate with the shortcomings of medicine
there are a lot of people he cant save. But when he talked to me about vaccines, he impressed on me that this was the greatest medical achievement of
our time, and nothing he knew of came close to what we could do through
vaccinations, that usually we use very imperfect tools to treat an already
existing and quite serious problem, but heres a really different approach
its preventative medicine. As my father explained to me, Vaccination is
enlisting the majority in the protection of the minority.
Biss hopes that people will read her book with an open mind. Ideally, I
would like people to get a fresh way of thinking about the subject, maybe not
the one that theyve settled into. Thats what it did for me. I was grateful that I
stumbled into this project because I was immersed in a lot of misleading
thinking. My hope is that people whove decided not to vaccinate will reconsider that decision. I began the book on one side of the debate, and I actually
ended it on the other.
On Immunity: An Inoculation was one of the books selected for yesterdays
Editors Buzz panel. Today, she will be on the Author Buzz Panel at 10 a.m.,
followed by galley signing at Graywolfs booth (1746) at 11:15 a.m.

ThrillingThriller
After finishing his first novel, The Expats, Chris
Pavone decided he wanted to place his next
thriller, The Accident (Crown, Mar.), in the publishing industry. I wanted to call attention to
the massive [numbers] of people behind every
book. Its not just the editor, [who might be]
played by Jack Nicholson in a movie. There are
young people at their first jobs, and middleaged or old people, perhaps on their last jobs,
who are involved in every book. Then theres
the vast space in between of people whose
careers and livelihoods depend on publishing
books successfully.
Pavone is not daunted by the success of his first novel, which debuted on
the New York Times bestseller list, was optioned for a film, won both Edgar
and Anthony awards, sold in 18 countries, and was highly praised. He tells

made it possible
for me to write
the second book,
and have a publisher buy it
before it was
entirely written.
And it made it easier for me and my publisher to get The Accident out into
the world without trying to convince people to pay attention to it the way you
do for a first novel.
His latest book features an anonymously submitted manuscript to an
agent that, if published, could wreak political havoc on the U.S.A. and the
CIA, with careers and lives at stake. And like its predecessor, the ending has
a surprise twist. You think you have understood everything thats gone on,
says Pavone, and then one extra thing is revealed at the very end of the book
that makes you realize that you simply had not fully understood the story
until that moment.

As someone who has written two books, I am just a couple of drops, and the

many different publishers. Most of the time I dont have to confront that, but
walking into a conference center filled with booksand people buying them

overwhelming to me now. Its fun, but it makes me feel so lucky that anybody
has ever picked up any of my books when theres obviously so many choices.

Garth Nix
Returns to FamiliarTerrain
It has been more than a decade since Australian author

Garth Nix published Abhorsen, the third volume (after
Sabriel and
Lirael) in his
Old Kingdom
fantasy series.
The author
revisits this
land in Clariel:
at Publishers Group West TO WIN a library of
The Lost
baby books or books for preschoolers!
Abhorsen
(HarperCollins/Katherine Tegen,
Oct.), a prequel set 600 years before
the birth of Sabriel. In the new tale,
Clariel, a blood relation of both
Abhorsen and the king, discovers
hidden sorcery within herself when
shes drawn into efforts to capture a
dangerous Free Magic creature.
The novel will have a 100,000-copy
first printing.
I had always intended to write
Clariel, ever since I introduced the
character of Chlorr of the Mask in
Lirael, explains Nix of reviving this
saga after so many years. It just
took me a lot longer to get to it than
I anticipated. I made some notes
way back in 2001 or thereabouts,
and kept expanding them from time
We welcome you to preview our Fall list and
We make childrens dreams come true
to time. But other books intervened,
SEE, FEEL, and READ
books for yourself.
www.clavisbooks.com
until finally Clariel and her story
were uppermost in my mind, and I
just had to write it.
The author said that setting
Clariel centuries earlier than the
earlier novels was a challenge, but,
he says, really only in the way that
every new book is a challenge.
Whoever it was who said You never
know how to write a novel, you only
know how you wrote the last one
was a very wise person. It helped,
Nix adds, that he had seeded many
small details about the past throughout the previous books, and could
grow these into larger details. I also
looked back through my notebooks
to decipher sometimes very obscure
jottings about the Old Kingdom.
Nix says that his fans have been
clamoring for new installments of
the series since its debut in 1995 (in
Australia) and 1996 (in the U.S.).
From the moment Sabriel was published, readers have asked for more,
and that only intensified with Lirael
and Abhorsen, he notes. Naturally,
I take this as a compliment.
Currently working on a sequel to
Abhorsen, Nix is taking a break
from writing to attend BEA and will
return to the States in the fall to

could be a sign above every bookstores door.

At first conceived as a study of 24 favorite books, in the end Nafisi focused
on three quintessential American works: Twains Huckleberry Finn, Sinclair
Lewiss Babbitt, and Carson McCullerss The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. I
decided Id concentrate on books I had read when I was younger, in Iran, and
how they affected my views of America. As my theme took shapeabout
lonely vagrant characters who also represent the best of American
individualismI realized I wanted to go into books in depth.
Along with studying the novels, Nafisi had to re-educate herself in
American history, to understand the founding ideals and see in what way
the fiction she had read related to it. It took me a long, long time. The
books epilogue is devoted to James Baldwin. He sums up everything I
wanted to talk about in the book, Nafisi says. Baldwin is the true heir to
Huck and Jim. Hes almost as important as Twain, which is why I saved him
to the end.
Though she writes mostly about classics, Nafisi says she tries to keep up
with contemporary fiction. I love David Foster Wallace. His perspective on
the world and society is very sharp and unsparing. He doesnt have the
cynicism or self-righteousness others have when they criticize society. Also
Dave Eggers, and a wave of writers that come from other cultures, and of
course Gary Shteyngart and his ironic view that turns both ways, toward self
and world. Jonathan Franzen, George Saunders, Jhumpa LahiriI was
thinking, while working on the epilogue about Baldwin, that at a time when
everything, including fiction, is in crisis, American fiction is still one of the
most vital in the world.

Republic of Imagination (Viking, Oct.), an

The only requirements for entry to the

Van Fleet, who has a biology background and loves reading about animals,
invariably spotlights them in his books. He didnt have to look far to find the
inspiration for the character of Monday the Bullfrog. At the time. I kept bullfrogs wed raised from tadpoles in an aquarium in my office, and I spent my
days looking at them, he says. So it was an obvious choice. He doesnt own
an octopus (though he says since learning that there is a freshwater octopus
species, Ive wanted to get one), but when his teenage son came up with the
idea of featuring an octopus in the new book, the author decided to go with it.
Van Fleet is now working on This Color Dog, a photographic book, in the

between the photo books and the others. But this week, hes taking time off

More Interactive Fun Ahead

Author-artist Matthew Van Fleet has spent some
two decades putting innovative spins on novelty
elements in picture and board books. Though the
concepts he introduces in such works as Tails,
Heads, DOG, CAT, and MOO are simple, their
interactive formats are sophisticatedand, with
combined sales of three million copiesobviously pleasing to child and parent alike.
While he has experimented with increasingly
complex interactive features since publishing his
first touch-and-feel offering, 1995s Fuzzy Yellow
Ducklings, one quality of Van Fleets work has
remained the same. I have always wanted my books to have a purpose and to
actually teach kids something, rather than randomly giving them things to
feel, he explains. I wanted different textures to have a logical reason to be
there, and to have a close connection to the text. Too many people dont take
novelty books seriously, and think theyre all about the format and not the
content, but it is actually the reverse.
Looking for an inventive way to introduce the days of the week, the author
broke new creative ground with 2010s Monday the Bullfrog, a huggable concept book that is an amalgam of puppet, plush, and board book. Now, Van
Fleet has created the similarly formatted October the Octopus (S&S/
Wiseman, Aug.), presenting a multihued plush octopus whose mouth opens

novel, Steinwho once worked for a big Broadway producer whose office was
visited by theater greats Helen Hayes, Patricia Neal, and othersreturned to
a play he had written about a haunted house in South East Washington. After
a few years expanding it into a novel, Trish Todd, his editor at Simon &
Schuster, told him on a visit to New York that there did not seem to be any
people in the story. Im getting to that, Stein recalls telling her. But on the
plane ride back to Seattle, Stein says he knew there was only one thing to do:
throw out the entire 100,000-word manuscript and start again.
If I hadnt done that, I dont think I could have written this book, says
Stein. A Sudden Light (Simon & Schuster, Sept.) opens in the summer of 1990
and is told by 14-year-old Trevor Riddell, whose fatherfacing bankruptcy
and a separation from his motherbrings him to their ancestral home, a
mansion near Puget Sound. Once there, Trevor realizes his father plans to
conspire with his Aunt Serena to put their father, Samuel (who may or may
not have Alzheimers), in a home so they can sell the land for millions.
Theres just one catch: the familys dead patriarch, Elijahor at least some
spirit attached to himis determined to see the estate, built on the spoils of
the familys timber fortune, restored to untamed forest land.
As Trevor explores Riddell House, he starts to uncover secrets and to
understand why his father never talked about his past before. When he
strikes a match on a hidden staircase, Stein says, Trevor is able to see things
that are unseen and become aware that there are different realities.
Theres no dog and no race cars, but Stein says he thinks fans will recognize themes that permeate his fiction. In all my books, its about how we
need to find our path, and we find that path by looking inside us, says Stein.
In A Sudden Light, he adds, the path shows that you can look into multiple
generations, but still find that we are in charge of our destinations.

Robyn Carr, a New York Times bestselling

romance novelist, has returned to womens fiction with Four Friends (Mira, Mar.), the story of
40-something women living in the affluent suburban San Francisco neighborhood of Mill
Valley. When their lives unexpectedly hit the
marital skids, they discover its their friendship
that gives them the strength and courage
theyll need to face the difficult road that lies
ahead for each of them. After debuting at #5, it
spent four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and also earned spots on the USA
Today and Publishers Weekly lists.
When I started Four Friends, says Carr, I
didnt know how it would turn out. I began with a woman who perceives herself to have a perfect marriage, but then finds out about an affair her husband had years before. What does that do to her and how does she handle it?
Ill admit I didnt know how I was going to work it out.
Happily, Carr had a bit of time to sort out that problem. The novel was
actually finished in 2006, but because she was busy writing her bestselling
Virgin River and Thunder Point series, the timing for publication was never
quite right. Finally, everyone took another look and said, This is great, why
arent we publishing it? Now everyone tells me they cant believe it took
eight years. But the delay did have its upside. Because I wasnt on a deadline for Four Friends, I had the luxury of going through it again and again,
something I rarely have because the reader base for romance is enormous
and demanding, and we always have to keep new product in the marketplace.
As for returning for yet another BEAshes lost track of the number shes
attendedCarr is delighted to be back. BEA has it all. Its a chance to meet
and thank the multitude of librarians and booksellers who bring our books to
the public, an opportunity to shake the hands of superstar authors, a time to
get the most up-to-date information on the marketplace, and, of course,
there are always social events where we can exchange news with friends and
colleagues. I love BEA.

at 30. In The Short and Tragic Life of Robert
Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark
for the Ivy League but Did Not Survive (Scribner,
Sept.), Hobbs, who was his college roommate
and friend, wrote this compelling and tragic
story of Peace who straddled the world of academia and the world of the street, but succumbed to the vast gap in between.
Hobbss intent, he explains, is not to bloviate
on the failure of the system but rather to lay
bare the reality of opposing insular environments. He says, Often overlooked in the bigger conversation is the stress
under isolation that comes with two opposing archetypes: you cant shed
your roots and you cant go home again. The takeaway that he wants readers to have is that asking for help is not the same thing as showing a sign of
weakness. There is no shame in receiving help. When Hobbs talks about college as a unique time when one is surrounded by truly intelligent people,
peers, professors, and others whose job is to help you, the heartbreak in his
voice is palpable. There is no doubt that the book, as the author claims,
comes from a place of passion.
We all know people, Hobbs says, who because of intellect or charisma or
stature in the workplace are deemed to be inoculated against frailties. In
Peaces case, Hobbs explains, this notion was exacerbated by the thought
that people from his worldthe streets of Newarkwere not equipped to
give him advice because he went to Yale, while folks from Yale were not able
to give him advice because he grew up in Newark.
He began the book with trepidation for a couple of reasons. Faculty from
Yale cautioned him that a white guy telling the story of poor black people is
not comfortable, he recalls. Moreover, I wasnt confident or sure that anyone would care, relate to, or be interested in the murder of an anonymous
drug dealer. Yet he was determined to assert that Peaces life is so much
more important than his death. So he forged ahead and found that he was
received generously from those in Newark who knew Peace: his friends, his
mother and father, his dealers, and more. He attributes his warm reception
to the commonality of caring about Rob.
You can meet Hobbs today at the Adult Buzz Authors panel, 1011 a.m., on
the Downtown Stage.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer

Sex Academic Style
Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Americas favorite sex

therapist, will be celebrating double on June 4.
Its her 86th birthday and the publication date of
her latest book, Myths of Love: Echoes of
Ancient Mythology in the Modern Romantic
Imagination (Quill Driver Books, June). The
book, which analyzes Greek and Roman myths
and their relevance to 21st-century relationships, is, says Dr. Ruth, a departure for me
because its more learned and more academic,
which makes me very happy. And it is academic
without being boring.
The idea for the book was conceived during a
visit to New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of
Art by Dr. Ruth and her coauthor Jerome E.
Singerman, a longtime friend and classical scholar. They were, she remembers, standing in front of Lucas Cranach the Elders 16th-century work, The
Judgment of Paris, which depicts Paris (he of the Trojan War) trying to decide
which of three goddessesMinerva, Venus, or Junois the fairest. The
painting became the midwife of the book, Dr. Ruth says.
Myths of Love gives readers a guided tour through 25 stories of Greek and
Roman mythology and shows how an ancient myth can inspire fresh thinking
about love and romance. Take the myth of Tiresias. Cursed by the goddess
Hera to experience life as both a woman and a man, Tiresias was called upon
by the gods to settle an otherwise unsolvable questionwhich gender enjoys
sex more? Or Iphis and Ianthe: a girl raised as a boy, Iphis falls in love with the
maiden Ianthe. Is their love lesbian or transgender? The lovers happiness
hangs in the balance until a sex-changing intervention by the goddess Isis.

imi Sheraton, one of the worlds most revered
Its probably safe to assume most of you arent

expecting to encounter any wildlife on the walk
or taxi ride from your hotel to the Javits Center.
You might want to think again. Look around,
says journalist and urban naturalist Tai Moses:
you could be lucky enough to come across a
raccoon, a chipmunk, a peregrine falcon, a
ruby-throated hummingbird, a cottontail rabbit, a muskratmaybe even one of the coyotes
thats been spotted in Central Park. Moses
new book, Zooburbia: Meditations on the Wild
Animals Among Us (Parallax Press, May), is a
lively blend of memoir, natural history, and mindfulness practices that gently
challenges readers to become compassionate stewardsand studentsof
the wildlife we coexist with in our cities and suburbs.
Moses is herself a city dweller, living at the foot of the hills in Oakland,
Calif., just half a mile from Fruitvale Avenue, one of the citys main thoroughfares. I had no idea when we moved here we would encounter so much wildlife. Whenever I look out a window I see one of my wild neighbors walking or
scampering bythe possum with half a tail, a flock of wild turkeys, a young
buck walking down one of the deer paths that go through the neighborhood.
In Zooburbia, Moses writes of her encounters with animals, both wild and
domestic: Little and Middle, tiny twin orphaned skunks; Big Gray, the feral
cat; a man and his five pet rats she met while walking in an Oakland park; the
Western Tiger Swallowtail butterflies now flourishing on San Franciscos
Market Street. She encourages readers to overcome their fear of spiders,
bats, and being alone in the woods and shares a lesson on forgiveness learned
from Bosco, a very philosophical and seemingly un-adoptable dog she met
volunteering at the Oakland animal shelter.
The presence of animals, Moses believes, enriches and enlivens our lives.
They make us more mindful and more connected with nature. By telling stories about animals that most people are familiar with, I hope readers will recognize that animals are individuals, just like we are. Every animal has a story,
and every one of them is worthy of our attention, our compassion, and our
respect.
You can meet Moses, and report your Manhattan wildlife sightings, when
she signs copies of Zooburbia today, at noon, at Table 10 in the Autographing

Emily St. John Mandel

Traveling inTime
It all began, Emily St. John Mandel says, when
she thought it would be interesting to write
about the life of an actor. I was specifically
interested in considering what it means to
devote a life to ones art. At the same time, Id
been considering writing a novel about a traveling Shakespearean theater company. But
then the idea took a unexpected turn from
Mandels usual realm of literary noir into the
world of postapocalyptic fiction. Station 11
(Knopf, Sept.) begins with a famous Hollywood
actor dying onstage during a production of
King Lear. Within hours, an apocalyptic flu pandemic is spreading across North America,
destroying the world as we know it.
The novel, according to Mandel, goes back

between the life
of a film actor, in
more or less the
present day, and
a time 15 years
after the flu pandemic, as a group of traveling musicians and Shakespearean actors move
between the scattered settlements of an altered world.It seems to me that in
a postapocalyptic era, people would want to remember what was best about
the vanished world, she says, and for that reason I liked the idea of a traveling company bringing music and Shakespeare to communities of survivors.
Although her three previous novels (Last Night in Montreal, The Singers
Gun, and The Lola Quartet) were all Indie Next Picks and The Singers Gun
was the 2014 winner of the Prix Mystre de la Critique in France, Mandel still
works two jobs. Shes a staff writer for the Millions, an online magazine, and
a part-time administrative assistant at a cancer research lab in New York
City. Its the holy grail of part-time jobs because it comes with health insurance and they all respect my strange double lifea double life that promises to get a lot more hectic come fall. Its a massive in-house favorite, says
her editor, Jennifer Jackson. Many of our sales reps were already fans of
Emilys work, and the news that she was joining us here at Knopf was met
with enormous excitement. Station 11 is her best book yet and were thrilled
to have the chance to break out this talented young writer.

Characters are everything, says New York

Obie-winning actor and writer Eric Bogosian.
In the early years, my writing was generated
by my acting because Ive been an actor since
high school. In the 1980s I was interested in how
characters pop out of me. I let them speak, and
this was how the first monologues got written. I
would tape myself being a character and let
him say whatever he had to say. Eventually I
wrote them down, and that was the first show.
Bogosians latest book, 100 (Monologues)
(Theatre Communication Group, June)
amasses the monologues hes written over a
20-year period, between 1980 and 2000, primarily from six shows he wrote and performed off
Broadway. He tells Show Daily, About a year ago I was absentmindedly
counting how many monologues I had written and sure enough, it came to
100, so I got in touch with TCG because they are the publisher of all my plays
and solo shows, and said, Why dont we put them all in one book and call it
100? And they said, Thats a good idea, so we proceeded accordingly.
With respect to the craft of writing these pieces, the actor notes, Theyre
the product of a long process going from improv to working it, to editing on
the page and going back to live performance, and back and forth, until finally
I say, Im satisfied with this. Each one of them grew over the yearstheyre
like river rocks that have been polished over a long period of time.
There is also a website (http://100monologues.com), which originated
from a discussion at one of Bogosians regular poker games with actor
friends like Bobby Cannavale and Liev Schreiber, where you can see a range
of his colleagues perform the monologues. Bogosian directs each shoot. We
wanted to give students an opportunity to take a look at what a very skilled
actor like Michael Shannon or Jessica Hecht would do with one of these
monologues. Were going to shoot them all, and every Tuesday at midnight, a
new one shows up on the site.
The author is excited about being at BEA and being part of the publishing
world. To me its the big leaguesbigger than the theater world, because
theres something about writing a book and putting it out into the world. I
love the fact that you can walk around here, touch the books, and see the
authors. And you learn things about your own work, because people are conversing about their experience with it. Im crazy about books, so wherever
theres a lot of books, Im a happy guy.

M.O. Walsh
Blue Skies Ahead
Louisiana writer M.O. Walsh (known as Neal)
wonders whether the Buzz Books editors were
confused or had a head injury when they
picked his debut novel (My Sunshine Away,
Putnam/Amy Einhorn Books, Jan. 2015) to be a
BEA Buzz Book. Im still just waiting for the
call telling me it was all a huge mistake. There
are so many books out there. I just got really
lucky with this one.
The book, set in Baton Rouge, spans 20 years
in the life of a young man who looks back on
events from his youth as he tries to make peace
with what happened to the girl he loved, who was raped, a crime that went
unpunished. The narrator is a suspect, and the book is confessional in a
way, says Walsh. The title is borrowed from You Are My Sunshine, the
Louisiana state song.
A veteran writer of short stories, Walsh describes writing full-length fiction
as totally different. The main thing was having absolutely no idea what I was
doing. Figuring out plot stuff, that something you say on page 20 is important
on page 280, I wasnt used to that. His life also changed during the seven
years he worked on the novel, including becoming a father twice over, and
having to be the same person in his writing over a long stretch was a new
kind of challenge.
Walsh says he didnt write the book with big thematic goals in mind: I just
hoped that people would read from one page to the next without leaving
me. Still, he does believe that the story could confirm to some readers that
theres love and goodness in bad and horrible situations.
I went for years and years without having input about my work from anyone, and I came to like that a lot, he says. Getting an agent to want to represent the book was really good. And then an editor wanted it, and that felt
good. It still feels good. Looking back and seeing that the book was as good as
I could do, that I gave it my fullest effort, that felt good, too. I want to do it
again.
Walshs day job is director of the M.F.A. writing program at the University
of New Orleans, a place full of talented writers. I expect to see some of them
on the Buzz Panel some day, he says.
A limited number of ARCs will be handed out at the Adult Books Buzz
Panel this morning, 1011 a.m., at the Downtown Stage. Suzanne Mantell

Annie Barrows
More Magic up Her Sleeve
After meeting in the past in 2007s The Magic
Half, Miri and Molly land safely in the presentbut not for long. In the sequel, Magic in the
Mix (Bloomsbury, Sept.), Annie Barrows again
whisks the girls back to an earlier erathis
time the Civil War, where they must race
against the clock to save two unusual soldiers
and come to terms with Mollys real past. The
novel has an initial print run of 75,000 copies.
Writing a follow-up to her 2007 middle-grade
novel was on Barrowss mind for some time
more or less. The idea of a sequel was percolating for a while, but at the same time I didnt
think that there was another book coming, she
muses. I got many letters from readers asking
about a sequel, and I kept thinking, Theres isnt one here. And then about
two years ago, I suddenly had a visual image, which is a pretty rare way for
me to start a story.

That mental pictureof Miri and Molly realizing that the magic has
returned to their livesdrew Barrows in. This image wouldnt leave my
brain, she said. It was as though they were looking at me saying, Weve got
to do something about this magicits back. It was as though all three of us
were in the same boat. And because I love these characters so much, I was on
board.
Barrows, who also writes the younger Ivy + Bean series for Chronicle,
enjoys spending time in both worlds with their very different protagonists.
Ivy is my Dionysian character, who lights the world on fire, she says. Molly
and Miri are a bit more mature, and most of the action in the magic books
involves the girls puzzling out solutionstheir issues are bigger, and more
thoughtful. Ivy and Bean also think their way out of their troubles, but their
dilemmas are funnier and simpler.
Its been a few years since California native Barrows has attended BEA,
and booksellers will have several chances to welcome her back. Today, 10:30
11:30 a.m., shell autograph galleys of Magic in the Mix at a ticketed signing at

Barrows will join illustrator Sophie Blackall at the Chronicle booth (2827) to

in paperback in August.
Though she shares some light concerns about her visit to Javits (How am I
going to get a taxi cab? Where am I going to eat?), Barrows enjoys BEAs sizzling atmosphere. Its like a state fairbut with just book people, she

Her Idea Reader

Liane Moriarty is the Australian
author of five internationally
bestselling novels, including The
Husbands Secret. That book sold more
than one million copies worldwide,
has been optioned for a film, and has
been translated into about 35
languages. Here are her thoughts
about her latest, Big Little Lies
(Putnam/Amy Einhorn Books, July).
She will be signing galleys at the
Penguin booth (1521) today, 23 p.m.;
tomorrow, Moriarty is participating
in the Author Stage/Contemporary
Womens Fiction, 1:302:30 p.m., at
the Downtown Stage.
Can you sum up the storyline of Big Little Lies?
Pirriwee Publics annual School Trivia Night has ended in a shocking
riot. One parent is dead.Police are investigating. Is it a tragic accident
or something more sinister?
Is there an underlying theme to the book?
I never set out to write to a theme, but simply to tell a story. However, I
guess Id say its a book about bullying in all its forms.
Have you tried anything new in the novel that you didnt do in any of
your previous work?
Its continuing along the same path, but perhaps its a path that winds
back upon itself. The Husbands Secret took a much darker turn than
with my previous novels, and it was my most successful book to date.
However, some readers commented that they missed the humor. (One
reader wrote, What happened to you?!) In Big Little Lies, I hope Ive
brought back the humor, but retained that element of suspense.
Where do you get your ideas from?
Everywhere: overheard fragments of conversations, newspaper
articles, TV, dreams, people-watching at the beach, my children, my
friends, my daily life, and so on.
What was the biggest challenge in writing this book?
I have a six-year-old and a four-year-old and only limited child-free time
to work, so my biggest challenge was the same as every working mother
faces: finding time. All we want is a great big bucket of time.
What is your ideal reader like?
Oh, shes lovely. (Shes generally a she.) I meet her all the time.
Whenever I do an author talk I look for her, and there she is, right in the
middle, smiling expectantly at me. She nods along so encouragingly as I
talk that I always begin to suspect shes a distant relative. Afterward,
she buys multiple copies of my new book to give as gifts. (Basically shes
another version of my mother.) I always have to restrain myself from
hugging her.

Tracy Letts
Theatre Noir
A small newspaper item about a murderous
family in Florida sparked Tracy Lettss distinguished playwriting career when he was only
26. Some of the family members were plotting
to kill a member of their family, only to change
their minds and decide to kill another member
of the family. We can understand someone getting their blood up to kill somebodybut to
then change your mind about the person youre
going to kill, somebody not too troubled by
notions of morality who could make a switch
like that, that was the jumping-off point for
me. That first play, Killer Joe, to be published next month by the Theatre
Communications Group, or TCG, features a dysfunctional Texas family
where a debt-burdened character plots to hire a killer to off his mother so he
can get a portion of the insurance money to pay off his debt.
The production gained more traction than the first-time playwright
expected. He tells Show Daily, I thought, Were going to perform it in
Chicago, and its going to run for four weeks, and that will be that, and I hope
I get a second production some day. It went on to be performed around the
world in 15 countries in 12 languages, and was also made into a film in 2011,
starring Matthew McConaughey, in which Letts wrote the screenplay.
Letts, the only Pulitzer Prize winner (for August: Osage County in 2008) to
win a Tony award (for his performance in the 2013 revival of Whos Afraid of
Virginia Woolf?), loves working in both the writing and acting worlds. Im constantly switching back and forth from one to the other, which keeps it all very
fresh to me. I never get tired of my job. He is also very modest about his awards.
Ive worked hard at both for a long time, so the fact that Ive been acknowledged for those things is very gratifying. At the same time, I view awards as

Thanks to the parents of Farran Smith Nehme,

she became a fan of old movies during her
childhood in the 1970s when the family would
watch them together on the then burgeoning
cable TV stations. She became such an aficionado of pre-1960 films that nine years ago she
started her classic film blog, The Self Styled
Siren, and has written about both classic and
contemporary films for such publications as
the New York Post, the New York Times, and
Barrons Magazine. Three years ago, a friend
who admired her blog style suggested that she
write a novel. She says, I always knew that if I
wrote a novel, I wanted it to be something of a
romantic comedy, because its my favorite
genre. I love the old screwball comedies with
the banter back and forth between the hero and the heroine, and I thought it
might be fun to try and do one thats set around film freaks themselves.
Nehmes debut novel, Missing Reels (Overlook Press, Nov.) takes place in
the 1980s and features a hunt for a lost silent film. She notes, I wanted to
write about a different aspect of the 1980s in New York that most people dont
know about. There was a very active revival house scene in the days before

She researched silent films for her book and discovered some disheartening statistics. Nearly 80% of the silent films made in this countryin fact
worldwideare now gone, due to neglect, sometimes outright destruction,
or because of the flammability of nitrate film stock. Its all been a terrible
cocktail that has resulted in tremendous losses. But more recently, spearheaded by the Library of Congress, theres been a worldwide effort by film
archives to go through and search their holdings, and theyre turning up
some stuff that had been previously thought lost.
Nehme is a regular at the TCM Classic Film Festival, but has never been to

We like each other and

crazythats a good
match for writing, says
Richard Scrimger,
describing partnering
with fellow Canadian
author Marthe Jocelyn
on Viminy Crowes Comic
Book (Tundra, May),
illustrated by Claudia
Davila. In the book,
partly told in comic panels, a boy and a girl who meet at ComicCon fall through
a portal inside a comic book drawn by the girls eccentric uncle Viminy, and
navigate through an adventure there.
The idea was something we batted around at a library conference in
Toronto, says Scrimger. We thought it would be much easier to each write
half a book than a whole book. And early on we knew that we wanted to have
a story within a story. But Ive never co-authored before. It turns out that its
just us being ourselves at age 13, pretty much. Though Jocelyn and Scrimger
say that nailing down the plot was relatively easy, the project took on new
complexity when it came to mapping out its comic-book inspiration. We
found ourselves very aware of the limitations of the medium, says Jocelyn;
neither of them had done a comic before, though Jocelyn had worked on picture and board books. Each page turn really meant something. Scrimger
agrees. The way that Claudia visualized the story really helped us, he notes.
But the hard part came toward the end, when we were synching the art and

at a big conference table looking at the mock-up, Scrimger recalls. Jocelyn adds, We spent 19 hours

But both authors agree that the challenges were well worth the effort. For

ways, it has been a whole lot of fun, says Scrimger. And the idea of readers
having a whole lot of fun is what kept us going.
Its always fun to have a lineup of cheery book lovers at signings, says

Wondering On
Wonder, R.J. Palacios 2012
debut novel about Auggie, a
fifth-grade boy born with a
facial deformity whos attending mainstream school for the
first time, made a critical and
commercial splash. The novel
received multiple starred
reviews and spots on best of
lists, has spent 108 weeks on
the New York Times bestseller
list, and has sold more than
one million copies for Knopf. Palacio has written two companion books: 365
Days of Wonder: Mr. Brownes Book of Precepts (Knopf, Aug.), which compiles
principles to live by inspired by those the English teacher in Wonder offers
his students as writing prompts, and an e-original released earlier this
month, The Julian Chapter: A Wonder Story, focusing on Wonders bullying
antagonist.
The author reports that readers response to Mr. Brownes penchant for
precepts led to 365 Days of Wonder, which will have a 350,000-copy first printing. I got such a tremendous amount of feedback from teachers, librarians,
and parents, who really embraced the notion of Mr. Brownes use of inspirational quotes, Palacio says. And I have bags and bags full of completely
unsolicited, original precepts that readers sent me. So given that interest, I
decided there was a book in this.
Palacio augmented her pool of quotes for the book with a two-week Twitter
contest last December, which garnered more than 1,200 precepts from fans.
Seventy-five of those submissions are included in 365 Days of Wonder, which
also features words of wisdom from such notables as Confucius, Anne Frank,
and Nelson Mandela.
I received so many quotes that really resonated with me, says Palacio.
So many books of motivational or inspirational quotes have a certain snarkiness to them, since adults impressions of life can be jaded. The precepts in
this book are very positive and emphasize the themes of kindness, strength
of character, and doing good in the worldthemes that parents want to
impart to their children.
In The Julian Chapter, Palacio sheds light onand gives voice toAuggies
nemesis. Julian was vilified by many readers of Wonder, and I wanted to
explore his backstory in a parallel narrative that definitely intersects with
Wonders story, she notes. We definitely get to know Julian a lot better. I
think its very important to figure out what motivates bullies to act the way
they do. With understanding comes compassion.
Palacio has attended BEAn ABAfor 25 years, in a variety of roles: first
as creative director of Henry Holt, then as an editor at Workman, and now as
both Workmans editor-at-large and childrens author. I literally have two
badges, and will dash from pitching books at the Workman booth to signing
at the Random House booth, she says. I love being on both ends of publishing and hanging out with all my publishing friends at BEA. I feel as though
this is where I grew up.
Booksellers and other fans will find Palacio signing blads of 365 Days of
Wonder at the Random House booth (2839) this afternoon at 3 p.m.

Elizabeth Mitchell
Elizabeth Mitchell
Most folks believe the Statue of Liberty
was a gift from France to the United
States, but Elizabeth Mitchell, in pursuit of researching another topic, came
across some diaries of sculptor
Frdric August Bartholdi and learned
the true story behind the statues creation. She tells Show Daily, He originally pitched the idea to Egypt for the
Suez Canal. The deal fell through, and
he needed to find a new place to purchase the statue, so Bartholdi came
here not really enamored of America,
but thought this was a place that might
go for a project that would be grandiose. In Libertys Torch: The Great
Adventure to Build the Statue of Liberty
(Atlantic Monthly, July) the author
traces the circuitous route of one of our
most famous American icons from its
creative origins in a story packed with
colorful characters and convoluted
behind-the-scenes machinations.
edward smith
TheTrail of Lady Liberty
One of the unknown facts the author came across was Bartholdis interest
in making an arrangement for the statue with Vaux and Olmstead, who were
designing Central Park. She notes, At that point the tallest building projected [near the park] was the Dakota, and the big toe of the Statue of
Libertyon its pedestalwould have been at the height of the Dakota, so you
can imagine how freakish it would have been there.
Another detail was the sculptors subterfuge in getting Lady Liberty made.
Mitchell explains, He convinced the French that the Americans really
wanted it, and convinced the Americans that the French were all set to build
it, but in fact when he came over here only a handful of men were even aware
that he wanted to make this statue. The author goes on, There was this one
moment when the statue was completed, standing in the streets in France,
about to be shipped to America, but nothing had been done to finance the
pedestal. It basically was homeless, and thats where Joseph Pulitzer
stepped in.
Pulitzer, whod recently purchased the nearly defunct New York World,
promised to publish the names of any person who contributed to the statues
pedestal, even if it was just a penny. People donated money just to see their
names in the paper, so he rapidly built up circulation to the point where,
within eight months, rival newspapers were taking ads out in his paper to
sell their papers.
Commenting on her first trip to BEA, Mitchell says, I volunteer to get
books to schools that dont have libraries. Kids are crazy for booksthey
jump up and down when you give them a book. Its nice to see the industry
has these moments to celebrate the fact that books are going to live on. The
author signs galleys of her book today at the Grove/Atlantic booth (1321) at 3

Jane Lynch
Adds Another Credit to Her Rsum
Jane Lynch has displayed her diverse talents
on a number of stages. Shes won Emmy and
Golden Globe Awards for her performance in
Glee and reveals her quick wit as host of
Hollywood Game Night. Shes also a singer,
playwright, and author of a memoir, Happy
Accidents (Voice, 2011). At BEA, Lynch steps
into yet another role: that of childrens book
author. Her debut picture book, Marlene,
Marlene, Queen of Mean (Random House,
Sept.), co-written with clinical psychologist
Lara Embry and former childrens book editor
A.E. Mikesell, is illustrated by Tricia Tusa.
The story introduces a mean girl who rules
the school until a classmate finally stands up to
her. Lara, Elizabeth, and I all admitted to each
other that at different times in our lives weve all done some bullying and
have been recipients of it, say Lynch of the inspiration for the story line.
There are so many awful things kids have to deal with on both sides of the
coin, and we wanted to explore these experiences through a character who
is a bright light with great potentialshe is a real individual and will probably lead a corporation one daybut has bad social skills.
The three-way writing collaboration worked quite well, according to
Lynch. Marlenes voice came to us quite easily, as did the story, since we all
agreed about everything, Lynch reports. I think the book came together
well because it came from an honest place within ourselves.
And, not surprisingly given Lynchs curriculum vitae, theres a good deal of
humor in Marlene, Marlene, Queen of Mean. That was our impulse from the
start, says Lynch. We wanted to make kids laugh while absorbing what the
story was saying. Lara and Elizabeth brought a lot to the book. They are a lot
smarter than I am, but Im a lot tallerand I provided the funny. And Tusa,
Lynch adds, did a great job with her cute and funny illustrations. We wanted
Marlene to be a real individual, and comfortable in her own body. In the
books pictures, she comes across perfectly.
Lynch is adjusting quite easily to her persona of childrens book author. It
isnt something that I had on my bucket list, but I dont really plan everything
I do in my life, she says. I kind of stumble upon whatever it is Im supposed
to do next. Im used to wearing a lot of hatsin fact, I change hats a couple of
times a day. I like using different parts of my brain and skill sets.
Lynch will sign prints featuring art from Marlene, Marlene, Queen of Mean
today, 12 p.m., in the Random House booth (2839).

A 4 book series of
kid friendly deliciousness
publishing through 2016
so Im usually traveling this time of year because the playoffs are going on.
This year, neither New York team made the playoffs and Aratons schedule
wasnt so hectic, so hes here at Javits (though next week hes traveling again
to cover the NBA finals).
In Cold Type, Araton shifts focus from sports to journalism (oh, he also
teaches journalism at Montclair State University). Set in the early 1990s at the
fictional New York City Trib, the story has staffers wrestling with both the technology of computerized typesetting, new to many daily papers, called cold
type and a newspaper workers strike. Its all just bad timing for Trib
reporter Jamie Kramer, whos already struggling with a troubled marriage
and the urge to escape the shadow of his father, a hardcore Jewish shop steward in an Irish-dominated union.
Although Cold Type is Aratons third book in three years (after When The
Garden Was Eden and Driving Mr. Yogi) he started work on it years ago. It
was an idea that came out of a newspaper strike Id been involved in in the
90s, and coincided with the birth of my first son and the death of my father.
But when you are trying to earn a living, certain things come first. I even took
a five-month sabbatical from the New York Times, but [even then] I had to put
it down. It wasnt until someone said, Youre not getting any younger, that I
went back and finally did it.
Araton anticipates being like a wide-eyed kid at BEA, in the company of
many great writers and publishers. He credits Cinco Puntos publisher and
editor-in-chief Lee Byrd with helping him shape the manuscript. Though
Ive spent 35 years as a journalist, working with a small press gave me an
opportunity to learn and grow as a novelist. Im really proud of this book not
only because working with Lee has helped me tremendously, but also
because I didnt let it go because of other circumstances.

An obscure but fascinating aspect of the Civil

War, when hundreds of women disguised as
men enlisted in the army as Union soldiers to
fight, is at the heart of Neverhome (Little,
Brown; Sept.) by Laird Hunt, the author of five
novels and a collection of short stories and a
two-time finalist for the PEN Center USA fiction award.
At the heart of the story is a rebellious young
woman named Ash Thompson, who leaves her
beloved husband during the Civil War to join
the Union Army Hunts inspiration for
Neverhome was sparked when his wife gave
him a copy of An Uncommon Soldier, a collection of letters written by Sarah Rosetta
Wakeman, one of the actual women who enlisted during the Civil War.
Deeply moved by the story, Hunt first wrote a short story about two of these
unique women. The time period is familiar terrain for me, Hunt says. Im
fascinated by the mid to late portion of the 19th century.
It took me a while to unlock the story [of Ash], to finally hear her voice in
my head, Hunt says from Boulder, Colo., where he lives with his wife and
daughter. Once that happened, it only took about five weeks to find the
shape of Neverhome. It is a fine achievement, one in which Hunt clearly
establishes a female perspective and voice, but also brings authenticity to
Ashs disguise as a young man in battle as she convinces her comrades of her
masculinity. The reader roots for Ash throughout this compelling tale.
Neverhome represents a major leap for Hunt in the publishing strata, as it
is the first of his books to be signed with a major trade house. Coffee House
Press published most of Hunts work. I love Coffee House, and they gave me
their blessing when I told them about my Little, Brown deal, Hunt says. My
writing career has had an incremental build over the years, and this move
fills me with a different sense of possibility.
Ash is never described physically in the book, but Hunts image of her helped
him write the character. Shes someone whos compact, sort of androgynous,
who embodies a middle ground, he says. I hope that readers of Neverhome
come away with both the sense of having gone on an extraordinary journey
into the intense crucible that helped shape this country, and the fierce
cadences of Ash Thompson, who took them there, ringing in their ears.

Ice Cream Flavors Her Plot
Susan Jane Gilman always planned to be a novelist, but took a detour to the nonfiction bestseller lists with Undress Me in the Temple of
Heaven, Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress, and
Kiss My Tiara. Her fiction debut, The Ice Cream
Queen of Orchard Street (Grand Central, June),
is off to a rousing start, named one of the Best
Summer Books 2014 by Publishers Weekly.
While the business of ice cream may seem an
unlikely topic for a novel, it made perfect sense
to Gilman, who is passionate consumer of the
worlds favorite frozen dessert. Fascinated by
the lives of immigrants who founded some of
Americans classic ice cream brands, Gilman
was certain their stories had all the makings
for a novel. The only problem was all of them
were such nice people. So I decided to write about someone who hated kids
and would rather have a stiff drink than eat ice creamLeona Helmsley running an ice cream store. Gilmans complicated female antihero is Lillian
Dunkle, an immigrant who rises from the squalor of the Lower East Side tenements to become the greatest ice cream maker in America. The novel spans
70 years and traces Lillians rise to fame and fortune from Prohibition to
WWII and, finally, the disco days of Studio 54.
Gilman dedicated the book to Frank McCourt, who was her high school
creative writing teacher. When I was 16, he told me that my work was great
and I should submit something to the Village Voice. Gilman did and received
a check for the astonishing sum of $200. Frank enabled me to see myself as a
writer, encouraged me through college, and we always kept in touch. He was
the first person I called when I made the New York Times bestseller list. I cried
into his answering machine.
An eight-city book tour during June will include stops at both bookstores
and ice cream shops.... for Gilmans favorite chocolate or mint chip. Two
scoops in a cup.
The author has three events scheduled during BEA. Today, noon12:30,
shell be signing at Library Journals Librarian Lounge. Tomorrow at noon in
the Hachette/GCP booth (2917), Gilman will be signing books and scooping
three flavors of Hagan-Dazs ice cream, and from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. shell be
on the Women of Contemporary Fiction Panel at the Downtown Stage.

With more than 25 books under her belt since
her debut novel, Wherever Mary Went, was published in 1993, Lisa Scottoline is a veritable

scheduled for an April 2015 release.
Now that my daughter doesnt live at home,

weekly column together for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chick Wit, for the
past five years; some of those columns are included in the collections theyve
co-written.
Although she regularly switches between genres in her nonstop writing
schedule, her writings are very much connected, Scottoline insists. Im
writing about the true lives of women, whether Im writing about women in
real life or in fiction, she explains. Everything is everything. Its womens
voices talking about the stuff of real life. Betrayed is a case in point: the
story revolves around Rosato & Associates attorney Judy Carrier, who feels
left behind both personally and professionally, now that her best friend,
Mary DiNunzio, has made partner at the firm and is getting married. A
beloved aunts breast cancer diagnosis leads Carrier to her side, but also
results in her investigating the mysterious death of her aunts friendand,
in the process, unearthing family secrets that some would prefer remain
buried.
Scottoline describes her Rosato & Associates series as crime novels with
subplots about her characters families; in contrast, her stand-alone novels
are family stories with a crime subplot, and the essays are humorous memoirs about her own family. Humor is, in fact, the thread that runs throughout
all of her work: Im writing about smart women. Theyre always going to say
something clever and funny, she says, which raises our expectations that
Scottoline herself will be clever and funny during her presentation at todays
book and author breakfast.
While this is not Scottolines first BEA, which she calls Bookapalooza,
it is her debut as a breakfast speaker. Shes a little nervous, she admits,
and jokes that she half-expects Serritella to show up and heckle her from
the audience. And, she says, she knows that she will run into, as she invariably does at BEA, the agent who sent her a rejection letter 25 years ago,
telling her that he wasnt looking for new clients, and if he was, he wouldnt
consider her. Yeah, Im bitter, she says, but Im Italian. Ill pretend not to
see him. Im so blessed, so happy to be doing what I am doing.

Its been seven years since Gregory Maguire

has been to BEA, he thinks, but hes looking forward to it, comparing the show to the most festive New Years Eve celebration. If you ever
want to see a room in which you get a model of
shaken-up champagne, its the Javits Center
during BEA. Everyone is bubbly and bumping
and fizzing about everything they see, he says.
I really like it. Maguire is at this years BEA to
promote his latest fractured fairy tale, Egg & Spoon (Candlewick, Sept.)
Egg & Spoon, Maguire says, is a take on Mark Twains Prince and the
Pauper, set in the waning days of czarist Russia, about a decade before the
1917 Russian Revolution. When a train carrying a noble family on its way to
visit Czar Nicholas II in St. Petersburg makes a stop in an impoverished village, two girlsone a peasant, the other a child of privilegeaccidentally
switch places. The case of mistaken identity sets in motion a series of
improbable events, with characters that include a monk trapped in a tower,
a prince traveling incognito, and Baba Yaga, the legendary witch of Russian
folklore, who previously played a role in Maguires 1983 middle-grade novel,
The Dream Stealer.
Baba Yaga is so attractiveshes a witch from central casting, says
Maguire. She has iron teeth and lives in a house perched on chicken legs

bly intend their home to be mobile, the author discloses that in Egg & Spoon,
Baba Yagas house goes on its own walkabout and has its own story line,
because, he adds, the house has its own ambitions.
Best known for his bestselling 1995 novel for adults, Wicked: The Life and
Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (which was made into a popular
Broadway musical that has packed theaters for more than a decade),
Maguire laughs as he admits that hes obsessed with witches. He suspects
that his fascination with powerful women who live a little off the beaten
track and dont care about conforming to anybody elses sense of style, or
beauty extends back to his childhood in Albany, N.Y., when he attended a
Catholic elementary school. He greatly admired the nuns who were his
teachers there, he says. They were omnipresent, swathed in black, and possessed a sense of justice that was hard to understand, but impossible to
argue with.
Maguire is autographing ARCs of Egg & Spoon at a ticketed signing this
afternoon, 3:304:30 p.m., at Table 5 in the Autographing Area.

Lincoln
MacVeagh
Club Set
You wouldnt think someone from old money,
who boarded at Groton and went to Harvard,
would drop out from that life and work as a busboy, schoolteacher, carpenter, caterer, journalist, and now a computer programmer for New
York City. Yet Lincoln MacVeagh hasnt
entirely forgotten the world he left behind, and
his first novel, Paisley Mischief(February Books,
June) is, as he puts, it a tightly packed farce
that looks at the moneyed world of a private
mens club with humor and affection.
He tells Show Daily: I wanted to write a comedy about money. I think its
one of the few taboos left, and its an important subject. The decisions people
make about money are really philosophical choices that affect lots of things.
After traveling the world and going from job to job, MacVeagh returned to
New York City 10 years ago and caught up with his college and high school
friends, who, he says, had moved into the places they always expected to
be. He ended up visiting the Racquet Club on Park Avenue (formally known
as the Racquet and Tennis Club) as a guestscores of timesand was both
amused and intrigued by what he found. Its sort of a bell jar, a perfectly
sealed world. One of the interesting things about it is that no transaction
involves cash. Once you step inside the club, everything is paid for by a chit,
which are little pieces of paper that people sign, so theres the pretense that
money doesnt matter.
His novel, revolving around the attempt of a brash Hollywood producer to
join the fictional Avenue Club, gives readers an inside view of what its like to
be a member of such an elite establishment. Once you get inside that
world, he says, it tends to be like every other world. The people in the book
are goofy and comic in many respects, but theyre also likable, and normal
theyre not caricatures. The purpose of my novel is to take the veil away, and
what you see in the end is that fat middle-aged men in the club are just like
fat middle-aged men everywhere.
MacVeagh originally self-published his novel; then one of this friends
brought it to February Books, which snapped it up. I handed my book out to
my family and friends when I did the vanity press, but I really am excited at
the chance to get reactions from people who dont know me and are looking
at it for the first time without rose-colored glasses on. To me its the first real
test. The author laughs, and then adds, As for Book Expo, I intend to eat up
the whole place.
He is signing today,33: 30 p.m., at Table 3 in the Autographing Area

Stephen Powers started drawing on the

walls at home when he was toddler. His
parents didnt mind. Says Powers, My
mom says I started at three and I never
stopped. My parents were really encouraging. Im not sure if they were proud of it or
they were just neglectful, but they left it up
on the walls for my entire childhood. I
remember being really mortified until I
was 16, and then I got really psyched again Stephen Powersa powerful muralist.
about it. I think artists would love to have a
record of everything they ever did and they would love a chance to destroy
it all over again.
At 16 he started doing graffiti. He tells Show Daily, I came late to the game.
The trend in New York and Philadelphia was to start when you were 10 and
then join the army, or get out of high school and get a job when you were 18. I
stayed with it until I was 32 and then I grew up and became a real artist.
Currently, Powers is known for the large-scale murals that he paints in
cities around the world. Five years ago, he did a massive 50-wall project in
his hometown of Philadelphia called, Love Letter, which in his words was
meant to be a letter for one, with meaning for all. The murals contain personal messages or phrases like, If you were here, Id be home now, or
Picture you, picture me, picture us, picture this. Some of the work he did
there, as well as in cities around the world has been photographed and collected in A Love Letter to the City (Princeton Architectural Press, Mar.), which
includes his art work in the United States and such far-flung places as Dublin,
Johannesburg, and So Paolo.
Here in New York City, Powers has an ongoing project at the famed
Strand Book Store. In March, he painted what he called A Love Letter to
the Indie Bookstore on the East 12th Street wall of the Strand. In addition
to the large, five-panel mural outside, which, he says, hopwefully is something that I can embroider on and keep adding to, hes making art inside as
well. Powers notes, Strand its already perfect, Im just trying to make it a
little more perfect.
Powers will be signing copies of A Love Letter to the City today in the

Sugar Advisories
Munching on a healthy muffin or drinking a
skinny latte while reading this article? Might want
to reconsider that breakfast choice if youre trying to
shed a few pounds. Celebrity nutritionist JJ Virgin,
author of the New York Times bestseller The Virgin
Diet, is back with JJ Virgins Sugar Impact Diet
(Grand Central, Nov.), a new program that targets
the single biggest needle mover when it comes to
that often immovable number on your scale: sugar.
That means not simply cutting out or cutting back on
sugar; it means learning how to cut out the right kind of sugar. What people
still dont get, says Virgin, a board certified nutrition specialist whose A-list
clients include Nicole Eggert, Gene Simmons, Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, and Superman Returns star Brandon Routh, is that honey and agave
are still sugar and all that sugar ends up in the same place. If you cant store
it in your muscles for energy, its stored as fat. So a high sugar diet is really a
high fat diet. Another challenge for anyone trying to lose weight is that
were eating hidden sugar in things like pizza and salad dressing. Its
important to learn how to read a label, as there are over 50 words that can
be substituted for sugarfruit juice concentrate, dried fruitwhenever it
says syrup or glazed, its all sugar.
Complete with recipes, grocery lists, meal plans and survival strategies if
youre having a sugar attack, JJ Virgins Sugar Impact Diet introduces readers to the concept of sugar impact: how different sugars react differently in
your body. High sugar impact foods cause weight gain, nasty energy
crashes, and inflammation, while low sugar impact foods give you energy
and promote fat burning. The book reveals the seven most damaging sugars
(grains, roots, packaged fruits, no-fat and low-fat dairy and diet foods, sugary drinks, dressings and condiments, and sweeteners) and explains how
simple food swaps (trade low-fat milk, which is loaded with sugar, for wholefat milk, and sorbets for ricotta cheese) can help you lose up to 10 pounds in
two weeks without feeling deprived.
You can meet Virgin today, noon1 p.m., when shell be signing in the
Grand Central Publishing booth (2819). And if you arrive a bit thirsty, GCP is
doing an in-booth promotion with HINT a purified water plus a splash of
natural flavor. Sugar-free, of course.

Jr: From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star (Headline, 2013). Murphy, a high
school dropout who was down on his luck as an adult and washing cars for a
living, skyrocketed to fame after singing Frank Sinatrastyle songs on the
show. With three albums under his belt (his latest will be released later this
year), Murphy has achieved his dream of being a professional singer. You
might also get a chance to hear him sing tomorrow night at 54 Below, a
Broadway supper club, at 11 p.m.
Murphys coauthor, Rick Robinson, is here as well, with a sampling of his
own political thriller The Advance Man (Sept.), from the popular series that
features politico Richard Thompson.
The award-winning author, with a
30-year background in politics and
law, must have a crystal ball because
in his latest book circumstances
ratchet up the tension between the
United States and Russia.
Another inspirational story comes
from Steven Dupin (aka Stevie D), a
smalltown Kentucky-born white
trash hillbilly, as he calls himself,
whose career as a comedian, writer,
and producer was taking off big-time
when he was diagnosed with prostate
cancer at the age of 42. His book, The

At Home with Science

Black Dog & Leventhal, whose mission is to publish original nonfiction
that brings complex subjects to a
mass audience via experts in their
fields, has two books on its fall list
that the editors are particularly
enthusiastic about.
The first, Michael Backess
Cannabis Pharmacy: The Practical
Guide to Medical Marijuana, with a
foreword by Andrew Weil (Sept.), is
a comprehensive book for the layperson on how to use marijuana for
medicinal purposes. The other is
Theodore Grays Molecules: The
Elements and the Architecture of
Everything, with photographs by
Nick Mann (Oct.), the second book
in the authors examination of the
building blocks of nature.
Both authors translate their information in an engaging and accessible
way, says executive editor Becky
Koh. Molecules is the second book
were doing with Theo Gray. Hes very
passionate and it comes through in
his writing. Backes is a pioneer in
medical marijuana . He understands
the science and policy.
Backes, who lives in Southern
California, is actively involved with
influencing marijuana laws in the
state and describes the policy arena
as really fascinating, but, like sausage being made, you dont want to
see it done. He got involved with his
subject and wrote the book, his first,
because he was a medical marijuana
patient himself and he couldnt get
his questions answered.
The most common question people
ask him, he says, is how to dose medical marijuana in order for it to be
effective, but not to provide too much
of a high. I provide lots of evidencebased advice, he says. Marijuana is
just another medicine, he says.
Galleys of Cannabis Pharmacy
will be given away at the Black Dog
& Leventhal booth (839) daily
throughout the show.
Theodore Gray, a veteran author,
says Molecules shouldnt be described
as basic, though it doesnt assume any
scientific expertise on the part of the
reader. It just assumes youre a person interested in the world and willing to pay attention. The book begins
with an explanation of how atoms
bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference
between organic and inorganic
chemistry. It then goes on to explore
the vast array of materials molecules
can create.
As with Elements: A Visual
Exploration of Every Known Atom in

the Universe, the first in the series,
the book was written with adults in
mind, but many of Grays readers,
he discovered, are children in the
812-year age range. Kids are much
smarter than we
give them credit for,
he says. Recognizing
that a lot of his readers are children, he
tried not to let that
influence him. I
dont shy away from
topics kids might
consider adult, painkillers and things
like that. They are molecules.
Gray, along with photographer
Nick Mann, will be signing posters

coauthors (two journalists, a professional photographer, and a book
publisher) to promote its distribution in the U.S. of the definitive photographic history of one of the
worlds most popular musical acts.

ABBA was originally acquired by

Max Strm; the
coauthors had the
full cooperation of
their homies, who
havent performed
together since 1982,
even though they were once offered
$1 billion to perform a reunion concert. ABBA includes a foreword
written by the four musicians, as
well as their personal commentary
throughout, providing context for
more than 600 photographs of the
band taken both on stage and off,
from their childhoods all the way to
the present day.
Its a stunning story of success
for one of the most visual bands the
world has ever seen, says Max
Strms publisher, Jeppe

coauthors. They spent so much
time with photographers. They
were so generous, even inviting
photographers into their bedrooms. Yes, we know what you are

Celebrating Lifes Adventures

Life is one adventure
after another, and at
booth 1313, Abbeville
Press is celebrating
some of the things
that make it so:
Italian cuisine, the
seven seas, and Jane
Austen.
Abbevilles adventures kick off today
with food: chef Cesare Casella will
sign 32 copies of the illustrated
encyclopedia of Italian cuisine,
Gusto: The Very Best of Italian Food
and Cuisine, edited by Armando
Minuz (Apr.), for which Casella
wrote the foreword. The signing will
take place between 11 a.m. and
noon, close enough to lunch to whet
the appetite of even those who dont
move quickly enough to score a
copy. Shifting from the fruits of the
land to the treasures of the sea,
between 3 and 4 p.m., underwater
photographer and deep sea diver
Jeff Rotman, whose photos have
been featured everywhere from
National Geographic to Time, will
do a show-and-tell at the booth
about his 40-plus years career.
Rotman, whose latest

adventure is advocating for the protection
of the worlds fragile
marine habitats, will
also sign posters for
his new book, The Last
Fisherman: Witness
to the Endangered
Oceans (Oct.).
And last but not
least, the author who once

wrote that life seems but
a quick succession of busy nothings. This fall, Abbeville will publish
all three volumes of Jane Austens
first stabs at writing fiction as a teen,
In Her Own Hand. Visitors will
receive chapbooks containing a
story from Austens first notebook,
aptly titled, Volume the First, which
is a rollicking tale of adventure as
only she could write it: Eliza crosses

Going to the Dogs

Or, as the folks at Overlook Press are doing, focusing on
one particular canine breed: the pit bull. Sadly, because
of these pooches often intimidating appearance,
theyve acquired a poor reputationoften considered
unfriendly and even dangerous.
One pit bull aficionado decided it was high time to
improve the breeds standing in the canine community.
In 2005, Deirdre Little Darling Franklin founded the
nonprofit organization Pinups for Pitbulls, because she
was tired of so-called rescues and shelters that euthanized healthy, friendly, and adoptable animals because
of their alleged breed. Drawing on her background in
modeling, Franklin created an unusually striking calendareye-catching pinup girls and their pit bulls in
era-appropriate attirethat has become famous in the
world of animal advocacy.
man she loves. After being widowed,

Eliza is thrown in prison, ends up
escaping, and bites off her own fingers to feed her starving children.
Despite lacking fingers, like every
other Austen heroine, Eliza finds
her happy ending.
Beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday,
Abbeville hosts a Jane Austen trivia
contest. Three winners will receive
a set signed by Austen scholar
Kathryn Sutherland, who wrote the
intro to the series.
Claire Kirch
Pinups for Pitbulls (Overlook,

Oct.) compiles the best of the organizations calendars along with
more than 100 never-before-seen
photographs into a lush, full-color
volume. The book also features
essays and testimonials from former pinups and longtime volunteers, as well as a complete history
of the breed, helpful tips for new
rescue owners, and a heartfelt homage to the dog who
inspired it allthe late Carla Lou. The organization has
a popular Web site, pinupsforpitbulls.org, and a Twitter
feed with an established following. Franklin now tours
on behalf of her organization, visiting animal advocacy
conferences around the country.
Franklin will appear at Overlook (1546) today, 13

The Future Isnt What It Used to Be

Douglas Preston and John Scalzi
have a lot in common: their work, of
coursethey both write speculative
and near-future fiction about, as
Douglas Preston says, things we
are quite sure will happen. They
both are tech savvy. They both have
huge fan bases. And they are each
admirers of the others books, though,
until this week, they had never met.
But today they will be at the same
place at the same time, shooting
ideas at and off each other on the
Uptown Stage at 1 p.m. for a discussion entitled Where Near-Future
Techno-Thrillers & Sci-Fi Meet.
The publishers description of the
conversation predicts that the two
authors will discuss the implications
of current technologies, the blurred
lines between sci-fi and technothrillers, and near-future possibilities in a rapidly changing world.
Preston is categorized as the scientific thriller writer, and Scalzi as
the sci-fi guy, but they both believe
that the lines between the genres
are porous. Speculation about the
technological future fuels them
both as they write books to thrill
and entertain their readers. We
will talk about what we fear most
and why, and how far away do

we think it is, says Preston. In
our writing we do that. We ask
whats really scary, and we turn
it into a story.
Preston turned one of his
greatest fearsthe weaponization of artificial intelligence
into The Kraken Project (Forge,
May). In the book, NASA sends
a probe outfitted with artificial
intelligence software to
Saturns moon Titan. The software
gets warped and goes rogue, and
calamity ensues, as the software,
named Dorothy, plans revenge
against its creators. The book is
90% true, says Preston, who spent
three days at NASAs Goddard
Space Center talking with scientists about their work on AI software in order to get it right.
Preston says, I believe in research.
The scientists said, Were not supposed to talk about this but...
Scalzi brings his own scary vision
of the future in Lock In (Tor, Aug.).
Set 25 years hence, five million
people in the U.S. have succumbed
to a virus that leads to paralysis of
everything but the mind. The brain
is functioning, but victims have lost
the ability to move, Scalzi says. He

posits a scientific crash program,
the equivalent of what led to the
moon shot, that within five years
finds a way to create a virtual-reality
environment in which the lockedin can interact with other humans.
But disaster follows, as some of the
locked in figure out how to control the bodies of unafflicted people
and put them to nefarious purposes. (A prequel novella that discusses the lock-in disease is out
now as a short e-book.)
It is amazing how quickly things
go from sci-fi to commonplace,
Scalzi says. Its a fine line to straddle between giving your reading
audience a buzzy experience with
buzzy ideas versus giving the char-

In addition to the Authors Stage

Table 13 in the Autographing Area.
Scalzi will also sign ARCs of Lock In
at the Autographing Area today, 3

A Novel Run for Running Press

With the publication of Ben
Mezrichs Seven Wonders (Sept.), a
fast-paced thriller with an Indiana
Jonestype character at its center,
Running Press is moving outside its
comfort zone of lavish lifestyle, pop
culture, and books on house and
home. The thriller, the first of a
planned trilogy, introduces the
intrepid anthropologist Jack
Grady, leading a worldwide hunt
for his brothers murderer. Many of
the details of the mystery, which
are tied to the Seven Wonders of
the World, are based on Mezrichs
own experiences studying anthropology at Harvard.
Although it seems hard to
believe, almost everything in the
book is based on real research, and
almost all of it is grounded in historical fact, says Mezrich, who is
best known as the author of the narrative nonfiction books The
Accidental Billionaires, the basis
for the movie The Social Network,
and Bringing Down the House,
which became the movie 21.
Running Press doesnt usually
publish fiction, so its a bit new for
us, says publicity manager Seta
Zink. The Mezrich book is the sec-

ond to result from a joint venture

between Running Press and RatPac
Press, the publishing arm of
Hollywood director Brett Ratner
and Australian financier James
Packer. The book was developed in
tandem with a screenplay, and the
movie rights have already sold to
20th Century Fox, with Ratner and
Packer producing.
Running Press publisher Chris
Navratil explains that the house
will partner with RatPac for one or
two books each season, with titles
related to Hollywood or entertainment or people in show biz.
The first collaboration, just out in
April, was Sammy Davis Jr.: A
Personal Journey with My Father by
Tracey Davis. Spring 2015 will see a
book on French film director Jean

Renoir, which was a bestseller in
France when it was published
there. In general, what we are
interested in is books that are tied
to an anniversary or an event, with
lots of beautiful production values,
Navratil says. We find that people
want these as physical books. A few
years ago, we did a $75 book on
Hollywood costume designer Edith
Head, and it did really well for us
and continues to backlist.
In the cookbook area, another
strong field for the house with eight
to 12 cookbooks each season, the
list includes the just published Eat
What You Love Everyday by
Marlene Koch, the third book in her
bestselling Eat What You Love
series; The Vietnamese Market

Cookbook: Spicy Sour Sweet by Van
Tran and Anh Vu (Sept.) and
Tim Federles humorous
Hickory Daiquiri Dock:
Cocktails With a Nursery
Rhyme Twist (Nov.), a followup to his Tequila Mockingbird:

which was the winner of the
2013 Goodreads award for
Cookbook of the Year.

Little Rock Thriller

The name, Webb Hubbell, conjures up the Clinton era in politics
starting in Little Rock, Arkansas and
then on to our nations capital.
Hubbell, who was, among other
things, U.S. associate attorney general during the Clinton administration, one of the countrys youngest
mayors (Little Rock, 19791982), and
a partner in the Rose Law Firm,
known for its connection to the
Whitewater probe, is now living in
Charlotte, N.C., where he writes
about politics, as well as personal
and inspirational messages, on his
own blog.
Now, with the publication of When
Men Betray (Beaufort Books, May),
he can add legal thriller to his list of
writing accomplishments. He tells
Show Daily, I turned to fiction for

several reasons. First, I think
theres a story in every one of us
that we want to tell, and its fun to
play around with the truth a little
bit. The other thing is, and he
laughs before continuing, its my
experience, when you write nonfiction nobody likes what you write
about them. It was a lot more fun to
write fiction, to let my imagination
run, and create scenarios which
arent real, but could be.
His novel is set in the authors
hometown of Little Rock and features attorney Jack Patterson on
the case of a U.S. senators murder
on live TV. Youd think that with his
many and varied connections, it
would have been easy for Hubbell to
find a publisher for his
fiction debut, but that
wasnt the case. Eric
Kampmann, owner and
publisher of Beaufort
Books, says, Webb had
gone the normal
routehe had an agent.
The bigger publishers
were taking the point of
view that hes old news
and why is he writing a
novel? A mutual
W E E K LY
friend, Fox News Channel correspondent Ellen Ratner, showed him

the manuscript, and he was
impressed. Hes one of the most
delightful, sincere, humble, smart
people Ive ever met, Kampmann
says. Everybody said, Well, nobodys
going to remember him, but theyre
all wrong. I would say that Webb is a
political celebritythats what is
going to propel this book.
The author notes that his legal
thriller is not a roman clef, and he
didnt write about the Clintons. Im
just relying on a lot of experiences

in politics and law. Readers wont
recognize people, but theyll recognize personalities. I know some
already are trying to figure out who
these people are, but its all from
my imagination.
Hubbell signs today at the Midpoint
booth (1426, 1427) at 3:30 p.m. and
will be in the Autographing Area at
Table 15 tomorrow at 4:30 p.m.; he
will be back at the Midpoint booth

A Borders Heir Launches a Feminist Press

As the daughter of Louis Borders,
who cofounded Borders Books with
his brother Tom in Ann Arbor, Mich.,
Christine Borders Bronstein always
knew she had books in her blood.
Even though she was a teen when
her father and uncle sold the company that became one of the biggest
bookstore chains in the country,
Christinewho worked summers
says, I always thought of it as a
expansion of our book program for enthusiasts, were growing our distribution arm
even further into specialty markets weve
excelled at for so long. This includes a
new distribution model Quarto has developed with Lowes, Tractor Supply, and
other specialty retailers.
We have transformed our marketing
organization from one that focused on
publicity and advertising to support traditional retail to one that reaches customers
directly to cultivate discovery of our
books, says vice-president of marketing
Amy Yodanis. As our customers gather
across image-rich social media and at consumer shows for inspiration, they now find
our titles. In the case of our Motorbooks
imprint, were driving the books directly to
enthusiasts in our converted bookmobile.

small operation where every single

employee loved books.
What Bronstein says she learned
from the family business was its
emphasis on quality. She earned an
M.B.A. from Columbia University,
became the CEO of a fitness company, and started a childrens welfare foundation before settling in
the San Francisco Bay Area. She met
Phil Bronstein, an award-winning
imprint includes journals, kits, calendars,

cards, and stationery, and launched this
year with 100 products. The programs slogan is Innovative Gifts for Stylish,
Passionate, and Creative Lives, and will
appeal to inventive and creative enthusiasts across a range of subject areas,
Yodanis says. Walter Foster Jr. is the name
of Quartos inaugural childrens imprint,
and it plans to roll out 20 titles in its first
year, including, illustrated books about
topics ranging from arts and crafts to gardening, trucks, and automobiles.
BEA is a great opportunity to feature
our two new imprints, Fund adds. We are
also looking forward to meeting our broad
range of distribution clients that we partner with through QDS, our distribution
service, and also meeting with our many
retail partners.

about how you never
know who you are going to connect
with, she says. And she is drawn to
other womens stories that tell of
their unexpected experiences.
In 2009, Bronstein started a private

7,000 members. A few years later,
when she shopped the idea of an

book to market.

Tristans Expansion
At a time when many publishers are
cutting back, tiny Tristan Publishing
is expandingand how.
Known for small, elaborately
crafted gift books of less than 1,000
words, the mom-and-pop Christian
publishing house in Minnesota is
stepping into putting out full-length
titles for the first time with My Boy,
Ben: A Story of Love, Loss and Grace
by former tennis pro David Wheaton.
Our tagline is books with a message, says Sheila Waldman, whose
unusual title is president of relationships at Tristan, which she
heads with her husband, Brett Waldman,

the publisher. We
only will do books
that uplift the spirit.
And this book, while
it is longer in length
than what we have
done, is incredibly
uplifting. It is all
about hope and grace.
Due out in October, My Boy, Ben
tells the story of Wheatons deep and
emotional relationship with Ben, a

Say No to Stress
When New Zealander Paul Huljich,
author of Stress Pandemic: Nine
Natural Steps to Break the Cycle of
Stress and Thrive (Midpoint Trade,
June), struck it rich in 1993 after
selling his successful organic food
company, Best Corporation, to
Dannon for $100 million, he had
every reason to be a happy, fulfilled
man. Instead, he was diagnosed
with bipolar disorder as a result of
years of unchecked stress that
caused him to suffer from depres-
sion and anxiety.

But Huljich completely healed himself from mental illness, thanks to
his medical teams at the Mayo
Clinic in Minnesota and the
Menninger Clinic in Kansas, and his
personal determination to be free of
his condition. I was able to overcome my debilitating conditions and
accomplish a healthy, positive way
of life naturally, free of prescription
drugs, says Huljich, who is one of
Americas top stress experts and a
life coach who travels all over the
waited patiently for him to

come home from the pro
tennis circuit. Two-hanky
memoir that examines
what Ben taught Wheaton
about Gods grace. Galleys
of the book will be on hand
in the Tristan booth (852)
beginning today.
The decision to add a
full-length title to its roster
of six to 10 gift books a year
has been percolating at
Tristan for a while. The Waldmans
have received numerous long manuscripts before, but have always
turned them away. But after meeting Wheatons father (the Waldmans
attend the same church as the

Wheatons, but did not know them)
they agreed to look at the manuscript and help get it publishedby
someone else.
Our first reaction was, this book
is not our format, but we love everything about it, Brett Waldman says.
And then it shifted in our hearts.
Nor is it the only first for Tristan,
which employs a total of five people.
Earlier this year, the company purchased Studio J, which features the
inspirational art of Jodi Hill, a
Tristan author, on cards, prints, and
magnets. They will have a selection
of Studio J goods in their booth.

My book is written for
the growing number of
people who wish to free
themselves of stress,
which can show up in
the form of worry, anger,
guilt, headaches, insomnia, or anxiety, Huljich
says. I want people to
say no to stress.
As outlined in Stress Pandemic,
Huljichs LifeReStyle process can
help readers take back control of
their lives while fortifying the body
and mind. The nine

practical, easy steps
include kicking bad
habits, the importance
of exercise and sleep,
learning how to say no,
a focus on self-awareness, and practicing
positive affirmations.
Huljich will sign Stress

You couldnt find a more optimistic person than David Caron, owner and
co-publisher of ECW Press, when it comes to the future of the publishing
industry, and he is very proud of the company hes been with
for 10 years. Started 40 years ago by Jack David and Robert
Lecker, ECW began as a journal that published essays about
Canadian writers. Caron notes, There was an emerging new
canon of Canadian writers that didnt have that body of critical
analysis that earlier authors had, so this was filling that void.
It was a natural step for writers connected to the journal to
offer their manuscripts to Jack David for publication; ECW
Press was incorporated, and the transition was made three
years later to a publishing house. Some of the early writers on
its list included Hugh Hood, Leon Rooke, and Eric Ormsby.
Show Daily wanted to know if ECW Press has a particular
area of expertise. Caron says, For us its about passion for
what were publishing. The editors that we have acquire
books in subjects they know about, so we have nine or 10 different areas that we consistently publish in.
Although the company first started publishing fiction, it
quickly moved into creating series about Canadian authors
and their works. In the early years of the press, we did major
series as academic and reference materials, so libraries were
an important market for us for a good 15 years, says Caron.
When funding for libraries started to decline, both in Canada and the U.S.,
that was something we had to wrestle with, so we went after the trade market and became more of an international publisher.
Jack David was quite prescient when he first started signing authors,
because he included a clause in the contract for digital rights. Caron says,
Jack had an understanding about the electronic side of things, even it if it
was just microfiche. From early on a lot of our nonfiction material was available digitally through EBSCO.
ECW Press will formally celebrate its 40th anniversary at the end of October
in Toronto under the sponsorship of the annual International Festival of
Authors. The company is also putting together a festschrift of remembrances
over the last four decades from authors and people involved with the press.
At the Legato Publishers Group booth (1329), ECW will be giving away limited edition posters tied in with Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words (Sept.), a
collection of conversations between musician/journalist Malka Marom and
her close friend, Joni; ARCs of Catherine Gildiners Coming Ashore (Oct.),
the third book in her series of memoirs; and today, author Arjun Basu signs
copies of Waiting for the Man (Apr.) at 1:30 p.m. Hilary S. Kayle
Waffling Workman
In need of a sugary afternoon pick-me-up? Today, 34 p.m., Dan Shumski,
author of Will It Waffle? 53 Irresistible and Unexpected Recipes to Make in a
Waffle Iron (Workman Sept.), will be serving up platters of Waffled Pineapple
Dusted with Chili Powder and Waffled Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies at
the Workman booth (839/939). Tomorrow, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m., hell be preparing a savory lunch-time treat of zucchini parmesan flattened fritters. And
while youre munching on those waffled cookies or fritters, dont forget to
drop off your business card for a chance to win your
very own Chefs Choice Waffle Maker.
Creator of Waffleizer.com, the popular all-thingswaffled blog, Shumski believes you can cook up just
about anything in a waffle iron. And he means anything: calamari salad, bibimbap, softshell crab, even
ice cream sandwiches. Waffled bacon, he promises,
will be perfectly crisp with nary a burned edge and
leave behind just the right amount of fat to waffle
some eggs. Pressed Potato and Cheese Pierogi and
Waffled Meatballs will end up with dimples just right
for trapping a sauce. And a waffle iron will turn leftover mac n cheese into Revitalized Macaroni and Cheese, a decadent version of a grilled cheese sandwich with a golden, buttery, slightly crisp exterior and soft, melty, cheesy interior.
Shumski, a writer and editor whos written for the Washington Post, Chicago
Tribune, and Los Angeles Times, began his love affair with waffle irons after
purchasing a Kenmore circa 1985, which he nicknamed Sparky. His passion
for the waffle iron (he is now the proud owner of six) has sent him on a mission to give this most underutilizedand often never even usedkitchen
appliance some well-deserved respect. The 53 recipes in Will It Waffle? will,
according to Shumski, show even a novice cook how to serve up a tasty and
budget-friendly meal thats guaranteed to impress and entertain your dinner guests and even your kids.

Even with all the celebrity authors wandering around Javits, its impossible to
overlook two monumental South Dakota Historical Society Press books about
larger-than-life subjects: Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography of Laura
Ingalls Wilder, edited by Pamela Smith Hill, and Love Letters from Mount
Rushmore: The Story of a Marriage, a Monument, and a Moment in History by
Richard Cerasani. Cerasani is the son of one of the sculptors who carved the
60-foot-high heads of four presidents. He has some star
power of his own to add to the glow at SDHSPs booth: he
played the villain Bill Watson for three years on General
Hospital under his professional name, Richard Caine.
In 1940, Cerasanis father, Arthur, left his family in
upstate New York and traveled 1,500 miles west to South
Dakota to work for a year on the Mt. Rushmore National
Memorial. The sculptor and artist sent letters to his wife,
Mary, on a regular basis, describing the trials and triumphs of carving huge stone faces into the side of a
mountaintop. In turn, Mary wrote to him of the trials
and triumphs of parenting their infant son, Richard, born
that fall. Decades later, the discovery of the letters in an
old trunk inspired Cerasani to tell their storyhis story.
According to Hill, Wilders autobiography reveals for
the first time the truth of her footloose childhood in a
pioneering family that later fueled the stories in the
Little House on the Prairie series. Her family spent 16
years traveling through Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakota Territory. Wilder initially wrote of her childhood in a 1930 autobiography.
After no publishers bit, she used sections from it as the
basis for her first novel, Little House in the Big Woods, and continued to mine
it for the rest of the series.
Even though Wilder wrote during the 1930s Great Depression, readers can
still relate to her life story. Shes especially relevant now, as so many families continue to strugglethrough the aftermath of the Great Recession
people losing their homes, having to move, getting by with less, Hill says.
The first 100 visitors to booth 1665 each day of BEA will do more than just
get by: theyll receive a blad of Pioneer Girl and a tote bag.
Both Hill and Cerasani will sign copies of their books today: Cerasani,

Publishing with lan

Providing cloud-based business management products is Media Services
Groups forte. Its HTML5-based lan Book Solutions allows users to access a
centralized CRM (customer relationship management) database, which
works seamlessly with the companys e-commerce solution and financial
products to create a unified environment.
lan provides publishing personnel with a mobile platform through which
they can operate their entire publishing enterprise with ease from an iPad
or any mobile browser-based device. It offers at-a-glance actionable summary and detailed information about customers, products, reps, and orders.
It also has configurable dashboards so that the user can create customized
summaries or views of any chosen data set, says v-p of sales Bryan Pellegrini,
adding that publishers Upper Room and Forward Movement have implemented the latest version of lan.
Clients want a publishing-specific CRM that is integrated with their fulfillment and distribution software, says Pellegrini, so that they can see the
complete picture of their customer relationships. Recent months have seen
publishers asking for Web-optimized e-commerce solutions that are tightly
integrated to their back-office operations so they only have to maintain one
product database, and have all customer, sales, inventory, and order information automatically updated into that one system. Publishers are also
looking for a product life-cycle management tool for a central print and digital product database, where projects and up-to-date metadata to their
trading partners are available at a click of the button.
These demands and requirements from the publishing industry are reflected
in the newly upgraded lan. PLM (product life-cycle management) now
enables the management and control of the entire publishing process from
acquisition to publication. Hay House is currently using the PLM module to
better track its projects and acquisitions.
Our goal is to keep publishers focused on their core business and expertise, and not worrying about complex technology infrastructure. Using the
lan suite of Web-based tools, publishers will have fewer maintenance problems while benefiting from a lower operational cost, says Pellegrini, whose
team will be available at booth 1003 to provide more information on lan
and other solutions from Media Services Group.

PETER MAY
A WRITER ID FOLLOW TO
THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
May is a masterful storyteller. He skillfully
combines pathos and the themes of identity,
lost love and family ties to create an exciting,
page-turning thriller.
The Irish Examiner
The plot throbs with past and present

passions, jealousies, suspicions and
regrets; the emotional secrets of the bleak
island are even deeper than its peat bog.

As North Atlantic Books

enters its 40th year, the
Berkeley, Calif., company
founded by writers
Richard Grossinger and
Lindy Hough, finds itself
with one of its bestselling
books, When the Game
Stands Tall: The Story of
the De La Salle Spartans
and Footballs Longest
Winning Streak by Neil Hayes, as
the basis of a motion picture to be
released by Sony Pictures August
22, and one if its bestselling nonfiction authors, Patricia Cori, adapting her debut novel, The Emissary,
for the silver screen. But publicist
Julia Kent says the Hollywood fanfare
has not changed the essential mission of the press, which emigrated west
in the late 70s and carved out a niche
publishing books that promote
personal, spiritual, and planetary
transformation in areas that include
martial arts, medicine, homeopathy, archeo-astronomy, Eastern
religion, diet, and natural foods.
Its a pretty big umbrella, says
Kent, who grew up in a community
near the Catholic high school featured in When the Game Stands
Tall, which is about the football
teams loss in 2004 that

ended its 151-game,
12-year winning streak
the longest winning
streak in any sport, anywhere. North Atlantics
movie tie-in edition features a foreword by John
Madden and blurbs from
actors in the film, Laura
Dern and Jim Caviezel.
Patricia Cori, whose fans call her
a real-life female Indiana Jones
for her work in her nonprofit Save
Earths Oceans and for her nonfiction bestsellers, Atlantis Rising, The
Cosmos of Soul, and The Starseed
Dialogs, says she had not intended
to write a novel at first. She had
started a screenplay and when
North Atlantic asked to read it, the
staff talked her into writing a novelization as well. The Emissary is the
first book in a Cori trilogy.
Cori says. While the screenplay
was already being signed by a
Hollywood producer, I feverishly
wrote the novel and submitted it
before deadline. The enthusiasm
around the book rippled through the
entire team. She signs The
Emissary at her publishers booth
today (2951) at 2 p.m.

A Picture Is Worth a...

The view from the 14th floor of Kim
Weisss South Florida high-rise is
spectacular. I can see the sun rise
and set over the ocean, an intracoastal waterway, a marina with
commercial fishing boats coming
and going, and all sorts of wildlife:
herons, pelicans, and one day, even
a manatee. Weiss, director of communications at HCI, began posting
photos taken from her terrace on
Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram
for her friends
to see, and it
wasnt long
before friends
told friends and
the following for
Weisss photos
grew to several
thousand fans.
I didnt have a
plan for the photosit was simply
me being in love with what I saw and
being part of the popular culture of
capturing everything. The last thing
I expected was for this hobby to
blossom into a book.
But blossom it did, and Sunrise,
Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude
is due from HCI Books this October.
Complementing Weisss photographs

are meditations, passages, poetry,
reflections, and contemplations
from more than 52 contributors
including Jack Canfield, Marci
Shimoff, Judith Orloff, Arielle Ford,
Homer Hickam, Rodger Kamenetz,
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr., M.J. Rose,
Candace Bushnell, and Betsy Chasse.
Having worked in publishing at
HCI for over 20 years, Ive admired
and/or made connections with so
many gifted and inspirational people. When I asked them to write a
small passage for Sunrise, Sunset,
they floored me with immediate and
almost unanimous responses of yes!
Weiss is in the process of developing an enormous online book
launch involving many of the contributors, as well as engaging consumers with their submissions of
photography. A portion of the
books proceeds will go to AVDA
(Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse),
a Boca Raton, Fla., charity that her
boss, Peter Vegso, is active in.
Weiss will be at the New Title
Showcase booth (3005) near the
Downtown Stage today, 11:30 a.m.
2:30 p.m.

Shambhala Boosts Its Roost Line

While Shambhala Publications
giveaways at BEA this year include
Writing from the Senses by Laura
Deutsch, The Authentic Life by Ezra
Bayda, and other titles reflecting the
heart and soul of the companys
spiritual origins more than 40 years
ago, the company is also spotlighting
Roost, its three-year-old and newest
imprint, dedicated to lifestyle books.
I call it a creative living imprint,
says Sara Bercholz, Shambhalas
executive v-p, whose father (company founder Samuel Bercholz)
encouraged her to create an imprint
that she could sink her teeth into.
Since the younger Bercholz is
interested in cooks and cooking,

she took her father literally as she
worked with a dedicated staff to
create the Roost list.
Five Roost authors will be at BEA
with their books: Amy Chaplin (At
Home in the Whole Food Kitchen:
Celebrating the Art of Eating Well,
Oct.), Diana Yen (A Simple Feast: A
Year of Stories and Recipes to Savor,
May), Robin Cherry (Garlic, an Edible
Biography, Nov.), Ben Hewitt (Home
Grown, Sept.), and Lynne Brunelle
(Mama Gone Geek, Oct.). Chaplin is
a celebrity chef who has worked for
Liv Tyler and Natalie Portman, but
as her editor, Bercholz points out
she is a star all

by herself.
At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen
is a vegetarian cookbook that even
carnivores will want, says Bercholz,
adding that working on Chaplins
book changed her own grocery
shopping and thinking about how
to feed herself and her family (who
are not vegetarians). I like to call it
a desert island cookbookit has
everything you need, she explains.
Garlic is a Mark Kurlansky Saltstyle title and Roosts first singleingredient book. Mama Gone Geek
is a first memoir by Lynn Brunelle,
who wrote for Bill Nye the Science
Guy (see interview in Saturdays
Show Daily, p. 22).
Steven Pomije,
Shambhalas marketing and communications manager, describes Roost as mainstream books with popular appeal
that fit in with the overall Shambhala
mission to be as conscious about
our living as we can be. Home Grown,
he points out, is about a family that
lives completely off the grid, and
the cookbooks are as much about
compelling narratives as they are
about food.
Bercholz is proud of what has
become the Roost aesthetic, gorgeous books about lifestyle topics,
which she thinks dovetails nicely
with Shambhalas more spiritual,
philosophical, and esoteric titles.
Expressing your creative side is
just as important as expressing
your spiritual side, she says. Im
still working on everything to do
with Shambhala, but its nice to
carve out space in my familys business.

Food, Current Events, an

Rowman & Littlefield continues to make
its mark in three varied areas of interest:
food studies, current events, and niche
areas of sports. Associate publicist Elaine
Schleiffer tells Show Daily the editors are
developing these areas because they
think readers are looking for something a
little different. For example, what were
seeing with food is there are a lot of cookbooks and food histories, but with our Big
City Food biographies and the Meal
series, the content hasnt been covered in
quite the same way before. Public libraries and general consumers are very interested in reading something that hasnt been
written about before,
and food is a perennially popular subject.
Here at BEA at
Rowman & Littlefields
booth (1126) one of the
books in the Meals
series, Breakfast: A
History (July 2013) by
Heather Arndt Anderson, will be given
away, and youll have an opportunity to
look at the new books in the series,
Brunch (July) and Lunch (Feb.).
The publisher is also expanding its general interest list by culling todays headlines for stories ranging from health care
and food scares to personal privacy and
government policies. Schleiffer notes,
Were just trying to capitalize on what the
hot topics are right now. Our Privacy in the
Age of Big Data (Jan.) is popular now

Authors Will Want to Be Binked

The terminology is fresh because
the concept is fresh: curated, additional content on an e-book. Click
on a word, a character, a place, and
get transported to a definition, a
drawing, or a map. Click again and
the information disappears, leaving
you just where you were on the
page. Beneath the Ink calls these
informational stopovers binks,
and the young company is producing e-books with tons of them scattered throughout the pages.
Just to clarify: binks are not hyperlinks. They are beneath-the-ink links,
says company CEO and cofounder
Sherisse Hawkins. You do not leave
the book at all. You do not have to be
connected to the Internet to see the
enhancements. The results are
subtle, she says. We dont disturb
your reading experience. We have
simply added another dimension.
We dont touch the core content.
Books get enhanced in one of two
ways. Authors can contract to have
their books binked by the company,
or they can do it themselves. If the
latter, a Bink Assistant feature will
make suggestions as to what content might benefit from a bink.

Leifer, a former hospital vice president
and founder of the Leifer Report, which
examines the state of our current healthcare system, including the impact of the
Affordable Care Act.
Christen Karniski, a

of sports and sports
history into acquiring
books that are not the

In June she is debuting
A History of Womens

and in August, The Greatest College

Sports fans might want to come to the
booth and see sports historian and journalist Harvey Frommer sign copies of an
updated Red Sox vs. Yankees (Apr.) tomorrow, at 10 a.m., and if you are a fan of outrageous things that happen in the sports

devices and readers from Amazon,
iBooks, Kobo, and Barnes and Noble.
Founded two years ago by Hawkins
and Alex Milewski, the Boulder, Colo.,
company produced its first commercial book earlier this year,
Emma Bolings historical novel,
Mistress of France,
the first in a planned
trilogy centering on the court of
Renaissance France; the book won a
Best Book Award from Digital Book
World in the category Ebook Fixed

The book was a Gold Honoree in the
Benjamin Franklin Digital Book
Awards handed out by the Independent
Book Publishers Association.
At BEA, the company is celebrating the release of John Shorss
Beneath the Inkenhanced version
of Beneath a Marble Sky, a romantic retelling of the Taj Mahals myth
and history published in hardcover
in 2004 by McPherson & Company.
(The book has been picked up to be

Visitors to the Beneath the Ink
main booth in the Digital Discovery

how the whole thing works: the
author portal, examples of content
on all sorts of devices, demonstrations on how to add things to an

The company also has a second

startups can show their wares and,
today, compete for the opportunity
to pitch to venture capitalists in

As book lovers gather at Book Expo,

the American Library Association
invites attendees to visit the Booklist
booth (1043) to preview the books on
display that are shortlisted for this
years Andrew Carnegie Medals for
Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction.
The awards will take place June 28
as part of ALAs trade show in Las
Vegas, Nev.
What makes the awards even more
significant this year is that it marks
the third and final year for author,
former librarian, and media commentator Nancy Pearl to serve as committee chair since the awards inception in 2012. The Andrew Carnegie
Medals for Excellence were established as the first single-book awards
given by the ALA for adult books,
and the shortlist and winner are
chosen by a panel of seven librarian
professionals, three Booklist editors, and three former members of
the Reference and User Services
Association Notable Books Council.
Publishers Weeklys library contributing editor Brian Kenney serves on
the committee and says the experience made him a better librarian.
Looking for some reading advice?

he says. Bring it on. I just finished
reading 200 books.
Titles on this years shortlist for
nonfiction are On Paper: The Everything
of Its Two-Thousand-Year History by
Nicholas A. Basbanes (Knopf), Five
Days at Memorial: Life and Death in
a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri
Fink (Crown), and The Bully Pulpit:
Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard
Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism
by Doris Kearns Goodwin (Simon &
Schuster). The books on the fiction
shortlist are Americanah by
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Knopf),
Claire of the Sea Light by Edwidge
Danticat (Knopf), and The Goldfinch
by Donna Tartt (Little, Brown).
Next months ALA might be the
setting for the awards extravaganza,
but BEA is a big stop in building
buzz for the premier medals. Free
bookmarks and mini-posters of the
shortlist are available at BEA at the
Booklist booth and at the shortlisted
authors publisher booths while
supplies last. The winners will be
announced at Caesars Palace next
month. More information about the
books for the event is available at

Feiffers Noir Classic Tribute

Now in my 80s, in my second or
third childhood, Ive come back to
the noir influence, says Jules
Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize
winning cartoonist,
author, and awardwinning screenwriter
and playwright, about
Kill My Mother, an original graphic novel
(Norton/Liveright,
Aug.). Kill My Mother
embodies all the things
I loved as a kid, says
Feiffer during a phone
interview from his
home on Long Island.

Described by Norton as a noiraction-romance, the book is
Feiffers tribute to the
classic noir, detective,
and action adventure
movies of the 1930s.
Indeed, the book has
also reconnected
Feiffer to his roots in
comicsas a teenager
he worked for pioneering comics artists like
Will Eisner in the late
1930s.
When I was nine, 10,
W E E K LY
11 years old, I loved newspaper

adventure comic strips like Will
Eisners The Spirit. I loved them and
emulated them, but I found that
while I could write in the noir
mode, I couldnt draw like that
the moody atmosphere, the cars,
he told PW during an earlier interview. Because of his artistic limitations, Feiffer turned his comics and
cartoonsand later plays and
screenplaysto social satire.
In Kill My Mother, Feiffer returns
to noir. The book starts during WWII
and traces the lives of two families
over 20 years. The book also features
a cast of memorable characters
women in particularas well as
classic stock characters of the noir
detective genre, enlivened by Feiffers

writing and drawing. Theres the
drunken, down-at-the-heels PI; a
long-suffering but plucky widow and
her difficult teenage daughter (she
hates her mom); assorted prize
fighters and tough guys (complete
with half-chewed stogies); and, of
course, a beautiful and mysterious
woman at the heart of the plot. The
book also features what can best be
called Feiffers super powerthe
ability to write crackling, witty dialogue.
Feiffer originally was planning to
get someone else to draw the book,
but everyone wanted me to do it.
Writing Kill My Mother was somewhere between a play and a screenplay, which are things I have some
experience with, he says. The
drawings for Kill My Mother will be
different from the spare, unconventional comics without comics panels that ran in the Village Voice for
35 years. Noir requires action and
atmosphere, rain, fog, headlights
and shadows against the wall,
Feiffer explains. It turns us on. You
see it in TV, movies, and cable
shows. Its expressionistic and
effective, and you need comics panels to do it.
Feiffer is pleased with the results:
This is as exciting as anything Ive
ever done. I grew up loving this
kind of work as a kid and now in my
dotage Im able to go back and imitate it. I seem to have picked up
enough drawing skills over the
years to get by.
Today, at 2:30, he is a panelist on a
graphic novel panel (see page 10),
and tomorrow he signs a new childrens book, Rupert Can Dance,
coming from Macmillan, at Table 13
in the Autographing Area.

subject. While I work in a lot of different styles, I do enjoy working on
monochrome or two-tone art, Cho
acknowledges. I find that it helps
eliminate some of the distractions
of full-color art and allows me to
better capture nuances of mood
and atmosphere. To me, two-tone
work is more intimate, and it fit better with the feeling I was trying to
convey throughout this book.
Cho, too, is taking part in the

TechnoMedia, called Zenhancer
Technologies in the U.S., plenty of
experience in projects with very
short turnaround time and zeroerror margin. It has certainly
taught us a lot about delivering
quality expeditiously, says
founder and CEO Anand Prakash,
who lists HarperCollins, McGrawHill, Microsoft, and iDiscoveri
Education, in India, among his
clients.
But differentiating one digital
solutions company from the next is
hard because the technology and

expertise is far from unique, Prakash
admits. Everybody picks from the
same pool of professionals, which
whittles away any differentiation
that one may have. What Zenhancer
offers better than others is perhaps
highly personalized service that is
made possible by our flat operational
hierarchy and small operational size.
Our focus has always been in becoming a part of our clients team. The
one area that we consistently wow
our client is in our understanding
their requirements and our ability

the client comes up with a new idea.

Among products, the demand for
apps, says Prakash, is on the rise.
This is one segment that has
caught publishers imagination,
which I think has more to do with
repurposing content and coming
up with additional revenue options
since new editorial development
budget continues to be low to nil.
For [clients], technology provides
an option to repurpose content that
is already in demand.
Meanwhile, the demand for EPub
products is going through some
changes as publishers find out what

illustrated childrens titles are getting converted into EPub format by
the dozen, whereas such requirement for educational books is slowing down, observes Prakash, pointing out that this shift is not seen in
the U.S., where the demand has
been stable.
The Zenhancer team has been
working on a direct-selling e-book
platform, www.zenelib.com, for
publishers. The team also offers
creative content services especially
for childrens books and schoolbooks, white-label e-reader solutions, and typesetting and digitization services.
