Booktopia Authors in 2017 |
Booktopia is different from trade shows, like BEA, or standard author events, like bookstore readings, because a group of authors and readers spend an entire weekend together - sharing meals, going to book Q&A's (some of which are more like a book group discussion than a standard author event), and even playing a rousing game of book trivia together! It's a lot of book-related fun with a wonderful group of book lovers and authors.
You can read about and see photos of my own Booktopia experiences in 2017 and 2015.
Booktopia 2018 is being held on May 4-5 this year at Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, VT (a wonderful town worth a visit anyway!). For more information, to see a list of authors, and to sign up, go to the Northshire Bookstore website, click on Events in the menu bar, and scroll down to Booktopia 2018, May 4-5. Not living in VT is no excuse - lots of people travel from all over the country for Booktopia! It's a 7-hour drive for me.
And if you do sign-up, let me know! I would love to meet you there!
It looks like such a fun event!
ReplyDeleteIt is!! I wish you lived on the East coast so you could attend, too!
DeleteThis sounds like fun. Thanks for letting us know about it. I have plans that whole weekend- but maybe I can get there in 2019. :) Have fun!
