Thank you for this opportunity. My book has been out for about 2 months now, and I have yet to see it on a bookshelf or in stores (we live way out in the country.) It will be amazing to see it there on the tables.

So, basically, the amount of Souvenir Space that I have to allow in my suitcase just increased dramatically.

Yay Laurie!

I can't wait for your book! Don't apologize for crowing - you should crow as loudly as you can.

LA is chock full of good stuff

I don't know much about your subway system, but I'd love to explore it. I was in LA for work in April 2006, and I fell completely in love with the Shriner Temple and statue near UCLA. (Or is it USC?) I admit to being predisposed to loving that due to my obsession with Masons, but I digress. I don't think that is on a subway, though.

Still, how fun would it be to collaborate? You've got my interest piqued.

You and my mom...

seem to think a lot alike! :) Actually, I told my family all about you and they are excited to meet you this summer. But not at Jimmy John's... Maybe I'll have to come up with a more exotic meeting place than DQ.

I can't wait to check out Off The Beaten (Subway) track.

And you should come to L.A.! There's all kinds of cool stuff off of our subways stops - not to mention that the stations themselves are artistically amazing. I don't think there's a book focused like yours, but I certainly wish there was.

I often wish I had a good guide to L.A. by subway stop.

I think I have that and am not thrilled. Or if I don't have it then it is because I wasn't thrilled. I think yours would be better. But, I'm sort of biased.

Thanks everyone!

I hope it is as fun to read as it was to research and write. (And Denise, my family also thinks that I should focus on Chicago next... Sadly, my publisher actually already as a book called "Alternative Chicago," which looks pretty good.)

Dang it, I'm too late. But I'm totally psyched for my fellow writers who ARE going to make it to press in time for this. Like Laurie,next year, next to Suzanne, in travel.

Woot for all of you.

BlogHer '08 Bookstore: Call For Authors!

KristySF — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:13:33 -0500

We are pleased to officially announce that, thanks to the generous folks at iRobot, BlogHer will once again host an on-site Internet Cafe and Bookstore at BlogHer '08. Which means that the BlogHer Bookstore will again be stocking, selling, and scheduling signings of books written by you.

If you have written (or contributed) to a book that you would like for us to offer for sale at the BlogHer Bookstore, please let us know!

This year's iRobot Cafe & Bookstore will be located in an easy-to-access space, and will be featuring a free espresso bar, cafe tables, and wifi -- not to mention a few scooting robots -- along with our "mini-store." The store will be managed by Barnes & Noble Booksellers, and we'll be working very closely with them to ensure that we offer titles that are not only relevant to women bloggers, but also written by them.

If you'd like for us to include your book and potentially schedule a time for you to do a book signing, here's what we need from you:

The book title, author, publisher, date of publication, and ISBN. Please note that, unfortunately, Barnes & Noble does not stock all titles, even with ISBNs. We will do our very best to get copies of your book, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to carry all requested titles. (If you have self-published, it might even make sense to offer your titles as part of the BlogHer Swap Meet. If so, please leave a message on that post letting us know.)
Let us know if you are interested in doing a book signing, and what day/times might work best for you.
Email this information to our BlogHer '08 Bookstore Manager, Elizabeth Edwards from Table4Five, by Friday morning, June 13. Click here to email Elizabeth.

We will again be stocking the bookstore and assigning book-signing times on a first-come, first-available basis. We would love to include everyone, but our store size and hours are limited given the constraints of the conference.

BlogHer is excited to have this opportunity to promote our community's authors, and look forward to seeing you at the Cafe. Thanks to Barnes & Noble for helping make this possible, and especially to our gracious host, iRobot, for their support of all our BlogHers.
