Be a Part of the Celebration!

The spirit of indie booksellers and the winners of the inaugural Indies Choice Book Awards will be honored at this May's ABA Celebration of Bookselling Luncheon at BookExpo America.

Now, the owners and staff at all ABA member bookstores can have a part in this wonderful celebration by casting their votes for the inaugural Indies Choice Book Awards via an easy-to-use electronic form or by paper ballot.

Two people from each member store can also reserve a spot at the Celebration Luncheon, to be held on Friday, May 29, at BEA. The free event, formerly known as the Book Sense Author Luncheon, will bring together indie booksellers and dozens of their favorite authors whose books have been past Book Sense Picks or, more recently, Indie Next List Great Reads or Notables.

Each bookseller who would like to attend the Celebration Luncheon should register individually as soon as possible via an electronic form on Bookweb.org. Questions regarding the luncheon may be addressed to ABA Senior Director of Publisher Initiatives Mark Nichols at mark@bookweb.org.
