We're thrilled to announce BookExpo’s “Introduce an Indie” program, designed to get more indie booksellers to New York for this key industry event.

BookExpo is pairing with the nine regional bookseller associations to bring 18 booksellers to New York City from May 30 through June 1 to experience the BookExpo. Two booksellers from every region will be awarded travel and lodging expenses, as well as a custom itinerary that maximizes their show experience as an independent bookseller.

  • The program is open only to booksellers who have never attended BookExpo 
  • Apply any time between now and April 6
  • Winners will be announced the week of April 9
  • Winning booksellers must be from an ABA member bookstore
  • Complete the form on BookExpo's website to enter for a chance to win

​Booksellers will be selected by the board of their regional association and be treated to a scholarship to BookExpo which includes the following:

  • A $400 American Express gift card to be used to pay for travel
  • A room at the official ABA hotel (The New Yorker) (room and taxes only – incidentals not covered)
  • A custom itinerary of meetings, education sessions, and author events
  • Each bookseller will be paired with a mentor who will share tips and tricks on maximizing the BookExpo experience before, during, and after the event
  • Each bookseller will receive a complimentary:
    • 3-Day badge to BookExpo for access to the exhibit floor and all conference sessions
    • Premium ticket to the BookExpo Adult Author Breakfast and Children’s Author Breakfast (one ticket per breakfast)
    • Collectible 2-Day BookCon badge for access to the exhibit floor and all panels
  • BookExpo will host a reception for the eighteen booksellers in the VIP lounge onsite
  • BookExpo leadership staff will provide an onsite overview and tour of BookExpo
  • The eighteen booksellers will have the exclusive opportunity to participate in meetings with executives of top publishers in their booths
  • Access to the ABA Lounge featuring a Galley Room, special autographing sessions and networking with your peers
