Book Editors Online & Unscripted
The AAP Webcasts of editors previewing their picks of the Winter/Spring/end-of-Fall/Winter season (titles to be pubbed Jan through April ’09) begin tomorrow. This is a great opportunity to get an insider’s view of the lists.
For those who have not yet registered, there are still some spaces left. Go to AAP Book Editors Online & Unscripted and click on “Register” next to each event you want to join.
To make ordering easier, we’ve put together an Excel spreadsheet of all the titles, with ISBN’s (you can also access it via the link to the bottom right, under “Spring ’09 Preview”).
Below is the schedule, with jackets and catalog download links for this week’s sessions. Chapter excerpts are available at the AAP Book Editors Online & Unscripted site for those who are registered.
