Hey there word nerds!

Welcome to the 2018 Epic BookExpo Recap episode!

If you don\\u2019t already know what BookExpo is, it\\u2019s the big industry trade show that takes place in the United States every year, and today it\\u2019s going to be just me talking to you about this awesome event!

This year, the big thing was the idea of the Reimagined BookExpo, so I wanted to give you a rundown of what\\u2019s new, what\\u2019s still the same, and what I think all these things say about the book industry as a whole.

Listen in as I chat with you about what the Reimagined BookExpo looks like, and some new and exciting trends I saw in the publishing industry.

In this episode, I give you an inside look at:

  • Then and now, how BookExpo has changed over the years.
  • Knowing your audience, BookExpo vs. BookCon.
  • New trends and themes in the publishing industry that jumped out at me.
  • The broadening definition of diversity.

Plus a teaser about the types of books I was most excited to check out, and why.
