This is Armchair BEA Central!

This is a sticky post. Please scroll down for updates!
This blog will be the communications hub for Armchair BEA (What's that? Find out right here!) Here's where we'll be announcing daily blogging themes (inspired by Book Expo America (BEA) conference sessions), giveaways hosted by participants, sign-ups for the Book Blogger Convention (BBC) agenda-topic roundtables we'll be conducting, and more. Here's where participants will be able to link to the daily theme posts on their own blogs, so you can find them easily and share your thoughts. You'll also be able to find the answers to your Armchair BEA questions! If you have any we haven't answered feel free to contact us!

We'll be posting information about the blogging themes in advance, so those who prefer to write their posts ahead of time will have the chance to do so. We'll try to get as much info up as possible this week, actually, so you can be well-prepared to participate in Armchair BEA - you just won't have to pack your bags!

We'll be using the hashtag #ArmchairBEA on Twitter, so watch for that - and please be sure to bookmark this site or subscribe to our feed, so you don't miss any important updates!

  • Tues. May 25th - BEA Related Posts
