BEA officials have announced a series of events in support of New York Book Week, a celebration which embraces literary and book activity during the week of BEA beginning Monday, May 23. Notably, the Apple Store in Soho, at 103 Prince Street, will conduct a weeklong series of Meet the Author events in conjunction with NYBW. Barnes & Noble will again tie in its regular series of events and autographings to NYBW, and the New York Public Library, in conjunction with several publishers, has organized numerous events including a Science Fiction & Fantasy Evening at 42nd St. (Stephen Schwarzman Building); Writing for Teens Today in Soho (Mulberry Street Library); and What Makes a Good Picture Book at 42nd St. Other participants in various NYBW events include Borders at Columbus Circle, The Brooklyn Public Library, Bryant Park Reading Room, The Center for Fiction, Greenlight Bookstore, McNally Jackson Bookstore, powerHouse Arena, Symphony Space, and WORD Books.
“Launched last year, our New York Book Week initiative was greeted with instant support, and I am incredibly happy to see how quickly it has evolved and taken on a life of its own,” noted BEA show manager Steve Rosato. “The Apple Store's terrific week of author events and its commitment to New York Book Week is a clear example of how far we can go with this program.”
