There is a lot going on during BEA, including lots and lots and LOTS of author signings. It is difficult to know what to go to, but (hopefully) knowing what panels OTHER book bloggers are interested in is helpful. Head to one of these signings and you are likely to meet some other bloggers interested in the same information. This isn’t list isn’t exhaustive, but I have built it based on what you all told me about your BEA plans, what I have put together on my schedule, and a fantastic schedule created by Heather of Age 30 Books.
Note: Author signings are either at publishers’ booths, or in the autograph area. Certain author signings require tickets. To get tickets, you must line by by 6:45. Last year the line was outside the exhibit hall. You can get up to 5 tickets for signings on Wednesdays and 4 on Thursday, one ticket per person per author.
Check out my post on panels books bloggers are excited about, and stay tuned for my post on outside events at BEA.

Thanks so much for this!
Great post, Jenn…I’ll be there! Thanks for the heads up on the huge line. I was thinking I could be on line by 7:00 and be okay…now I’m thinking I should show up at 6:30 *laughs*
I’m looking forward to Mary Higgins Clark on Thursday, too! I think it’s at 10. I have to go to the Javits by 6:45?!?!?! In the morning?!?!?! LOL
Waiting for Funke!
Ooh thanks for this list. It’s so confusing on the BEA site.
I’m most excited for Nancy Pearl, myself.
Thank you!
Sadly, I saw on Twitter that the Scorch Trials wouldn’t be the finished galley as it’s not ready.
Thank you – this is so helpful!
