The New York Times features an article about the New York Art Bookfair today, and the display table where I’ve been working at the fair is in the lead photograph!
“World War 3 Illustrated Magazine” is the exemplar of the many books at the fair which are not to be found on the Kindle, [...]

I just wanted to drop a quick post to say we made it through the Baltimore Book Festival, and it was a pretty amazing experience this year. We sold a lot of books, signed up a bunch of new authors, awarded the first ever ABIE award and spread the Indie Publishing Gospel to many [...]

One of my favorite things about hosting the AuthorsBookshop booth at the Baltimore Book Festival every year is giving indie authors an opportunity to meet their readers and sign books.

We have a great schedule this year – Saturday is particularly packed. Great books, great authors… come on down and meet them.

This is part 1 as I am on the train with 19% battery life on my laptop and draining fast. I forgot to plug in to power up before going to bed last night. I’m hoping to get something posted here before I run out or juice.

So, big picture, I think the [...]

This has been the wettest, soggiest BBF that anyone I have talked to can remember. Books and humid, rainy weather do not go well together. Nor do a rain and a crowded book festival, apparently.
If you looked at this day in the wrong way, it would look like a disaster. We have [...]

Ok, Day 1 is done. It was a soppy and wet end to a beautiful night. But we still had a great time. I met a bunch of authors, and made a dash through the author’s tent letting them all know about AuthorsBookshop.
