The Galleys They Grabbed:

The Big Books at BookExpo
By Rachel Deahl

If there was any question about the ability of books to generate excitement
at this years BookExpo, one need look no further than what happened at
Wednesday nights Adult Editors Buzz Panel, where booksellers pushed and
shoved to get galleys of the five books touted. Though the show floor was
much more genteel, booksellers still scrambled for galleys by both marquee
authors and newcomers.
Among the new names generating excitement was A.J. Finn, the pseudonym Grishams just released Camino Island (Doubleday), which he will be signing
for publishing veteran (and HarperCollins v-p and executive editor) Dan
Mallory. A buzz panel selection, Finns The Woman in the Window (Jan.
2018) has all the trappings of a big book: its already sold for film (to Fox
2000) and was acquired by William Morrow just before the 2016 Frankfurt
Book Fair for a rumored seven figures. Drawing comparisons to Hitchcock
and Hawkins, Paula, that is, the novel follows a recently divorced woman with
agoraphobia who spies on her neighbors. Liate Stehlik, senior v-p and pub-
lisher at HarperCollins, said everyone she gives the book to is enamored with and Jennifer Egans Manhattan Beach (Scribner, Oct.). Eugenidess first
it. Its a special book with the kind of magic you cannot manufacture.
Another buzz selection being
talked up on the show floor:
Gabriel Tallents debut, My The magic of reading
through her eponymous imprint at Little, Brown in January, said the book,
set in an America where abortion is illegal, is about what it means to be a
mother.
Debut authors were not the only ones on booksellers minds. John
finished copies of today, is something of a love letter to the bookselling com-
munity. About a rare books dealer in Florida, the novel is the first title for
which hes touring in 25 years. Why now? A rep at Doubleday said the tour is
meant to be a gift to booksellers, for all the support theyve given Grisham
throughout his career.
Books by three other heavy hitters were being scooped up: Jeffrey Eugenidess

In 2016, Teicher said, sales at independent bookstores were up 4.6% and
had a compound annual sales growth of more than 6% over a five-year period.
Overall the ABA has 2,321 member locations, representing 1,757 companies.
The numbers indicate a modest increase in indie storefront locations, and a
small decline in member companies, Teicher noted. www.boxcarchildren.com
Last year, 87 new member bookstores opened in 32 states and the District
of Columbia, a 42.6% increase over the number of store openings in 2015.
Fifteen established ABA member stores were purchased by new owners.

Other highlights from the past year include efforts to secure better terms
for backlist titles, rapid replenishment, simplified co-op from publishers, and
the testing of BATCH, a free-to-use online system for paying publishers.
Diversity and free speech issues continue to be a priority for the organiza-
tion. Outgoing ABA president Betsy Burton of the Kings English in Salt Lake
City noted, The subject of minorities has been bubbling along in our indus-
try and has never been properly addressed, but came to a flashpoint at [the
Winter Institute]. We took quick, not defensive, action. That action included
forming a diversity task force.
In a Q&A preceding Teichers comments, incoming ABA president Robert
Sindelar, from Third Place Books in Seattle, said, The steps we are taking
toward diversity are first steps, but more of our membership can be aware
about the processes that are in place. Knowing how to nominate board mem-
bers, for example, will go a long way toward getting us there.
Rozanne Seelen, who owns the 100-year-old Drama Bookshop in New York

PubMatch in Deal with

Beijing Book Fair
PubMatch has reached an agreement with the Beijing International Book
Fair to promote Chinese content worldwide. PubMatch is the global rights
trading platform owned by Combined Book Exhibit and PWxyz, the parent
company of Publishers Weekly.
PubMatch will make Chinese content more accessible to the world for rights
purposes, said Jon Malinowski, president of CBE, who noted that the Chinese
books featured in PubMatch have not yet been seen outside of China.
We are very excited to be working with PubMatch and provide our exhibi-
tors with access to the online rights platform, said Ms. Lin Liying, v-p, China
National Publications Import & Export (Group) Corporation, which launched
BIBF in 1986. As a trade book fair, our goal is to service the publishing
industry. By partnering with PubMatch, Lin said, Our exhibitors will be
exhibiting with more efficiency and getting better results. And through the
PubMatch platform, we can also introduce more high-quality Chinese con-
tent to the international market.
Working with BIBF, PubMatch will create an online rights platform to be
used at BIBF and made available to all Chinese publishers and attendees of
the fair. The PubMatch platform in China is to be modeled on PubMatchs
current platform, including its rights database,
tools, and search capabilities. Jim Milliot

YA Editors on the Magic
of Books
The five editors presenting at yesterdays panel on YA buzz books empha-
sized that books can change lives, whether a young person is reading a fan-
tasy novel set in a world of magic and mystery, or reading nonfiction about a
crime inflicted by one teen upon another on a city bus.
Connie Hsu, Roaring Brook/Macmillan senior editor, noted that while
Spinning (Sept.) by Tillie Walden is ostensibly a graphic novel memoir about
a teen figure skater, its really about feel-
anti-hero, but is turned into a real hero to all readers, Schrank said.
While not as fantastical as Onyebuchis Kos, the Southwest setting in
Samantha Mabrys All the Wind in the World (Oct.) is magical and danger-
ous, and bursting with secrets, Algonquin Books for Young Readers editor
Krestyna Lypen declared. She had high expectations for this debut novel by
a teacher of writing and Latino literature at a community college in Dallas.
Its compelling and complex; the language is beautiful and raw, she noted.
Phoebe Yeh, Crown Books for Young Readers v-p, publisher, recalled
acquiring Nic Stones debut novel, Dear Martin (Oct.), based on the synopsis
and first three chapters. I was excited about what Nic was doing, Yeh said,
disclosing that Stone is a woman writing

ing, with a protagonist who comes of age
and comes out as gay. Although readers
may not ice skate or be gay themselves,
something in you connects with [Walden],
who was 19 years old when she wrote and
illustrated Spinning.
Which comes first, the book or the
author? asked Ben Schrank, president
and publisher of Razorbill, noting that
Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Beasts Made
of Night (Sept.), holds both an M.F.A.
from NYUs Tisch School and a law degree
from Columbia University. Onyebuchi
drew upon his Nigerian heritage and his
concern for social justice in creating Taj,
a sin-eater in the walled city of Kos, a
protagonist who at first glance is an
stevekagan . com
in the voice of a contemporary teenage
boy whose response to being racially
profiled is to write letters to Martin Luther
King Jr. Its powerful, provocative, vision-
ary storytelling about a topical issue,
Yeh said.
Joy Peskin, editorial director for FSG
Books for Young Readers, presented the
only nonfiction selection, The 57 Bus:
A True Story of Two Teenagers and the
Crime That Changed Their Lives (Oct.)
by Dashka Slater. This is a book we
need right now about empathy, she
said, especially when there are politi-

Q&A
Jenna Hager and Barbara
Bush
First Daughters in a Sister Act
In their first book together, Sisters First:
Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life
(Grand Central, Oct.), twin sisters and
former first daughters Jenna Bush Hager
and Barbara Bush write about their lives,
including their White House years.
What made you decide at 35 to write a
book together?
JH: This year, we realized more than ever
that women really have to start having
each others back, that women have to
empower each other to do things that are
outside their comfort zone and lift each
other up. Its not a typical political memoir
by any means. Its short stories of our life.
BB: In general, it has always been important for women to have each others
back, and now there has been a much broader dialogue in the United States
with people like Anne-Marie Slaughter and Sheryl Sandberg [discussing]
more structural ways to support women.
JH: Also, I have two little girls now. And when they were born, I realized how
lucky Barbara and I were to have each other.
Whats it been like to write together?
BB: Because we are twins, we do have such a shared experience. We were
always in the same grade. We always had a partner on the first day of school.
Even though weve lived very different lives and have different passions, our
experiences have often been shared, which actually made it easier for us to
come up with what we wanted to talk about.
What we wanted to show is both the extraordinary aspect of the life that
we have been given in terms of the exposure that we have around the world
[and] the really interesting people weve met, like the Dalai Lama or Vladimir
Putin. But more of our life has been this very normal experience as sisters
growing up and exploring the world in West Texas and then in Austin.
JH: Its been really fun and slightly therapeutic to write it. People will come
up to us a lot and say, How are you so normal? And its a very odd thing
frankly to hear, because I think everybody prides themselves on being
unique. Were stereotyped into this caricature, into the presidents daugh-
ters, which in many ways we were. At the same time, we were 18 when my
dad was elected. So we lived this life before then.
What books have influenced you on this project?
JH: Commonwealth by Ann Patchett, which I was reading when Barbara and
I had the idea. Its not a memoir, but its a fiction based on her life. I adore
Jeannette Walls. And I also read Ariel Levys book recently, The Rules Do Not
Apply. [Like our book] these books are not prescriptive.
BB: I think whats been fun about this is we both are avid readers, and,
obviously, our mothers a librarian, so we grew up reading all the time. I
reread Joan Didions The Year of Magical Thinking, and I loved Patty Smiths
memoir, Just Kids. I reread all of Americanah author Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichies books, who has a TED Talk, The Danger of the Single Story. One
of my favorite books is by Junot Daz, a book of short stories, This Is How You
Lose Her.  Judith Rosen
Today, 11 a.m.noon. Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush will sign
Sisters First at the Hachette booth (2502, 2503).

Q&A
Ed Asner, Still Grumpy
After All These Years
Ed Asner, the Emmy Awardwinning
actor and activist, aka Lou Grant,
reclaims the Constitution from the
right-wingers who think that they and
only they know how to interpret it in
his forthcoming book, The Grouchy
Historian: An Old-time Lefty Defends
Our Constitution Against Right-Wing
Hypocrites and Nutjobs (S&S, Oct.),
written with his former Mary Tyler
Moore Show producer, Ed.
Weinberger.

This is a pretty weighty topic. What

inspired you?
Look around you at the chaos of our
daily lives. I thought we should get a
clear shot at what founded us. Maybe
if were truly aware of the mixed bag that founded us, then we wouldnt be
too surprised at finding ourselves in the bed were in.

Why do you think right-wingers think they own the Constitution?

I think its a right-wing attitude that they own the world. They are quite
surprised when someone thinks they dont.

Why do you think the right is for originalism, which the late Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia explained as [it] means today not what
current society, much less the Court, thinks it ought to mean, but what it
meant when it was adopted?
They act as if they were there when it was written and they are the only ones
who know how to interpret what was put down. Its always in defense of their
point or reducing the lefts point to reductio ad absurdum. Only a toad like
Scalia would take it to its most nonsensical degree to think that he was a
messenger of God and therefore owned it. I like to think the Constitution is
a work in progress. That means we will always have new confrontations,
which must be resolved in situ by, hopefully, the clear-eyed representatives
we have on the Court.

Speaking of which, what would you have asked Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, an
originalist, if you had been in on the Supreme Court confirmation hearings?
Not to use that term! To wipe his eyes and nose clean, wipe anything else
that needs to be clean, and take a fresh look. To not be hampered by some
hangup that he feels he must look to the past to interpret.

You are very politically active, and we are in a very strange time. What do
you do to keep from losing your mind?
What makes you think I havent lost it?

Finally, we all lost our dear Mary Tyler Moore this year. Anything you
would like to say about her?
I owe my career to her. I had seven years of bliss working for her and with her.
Nobody will ever get a better partner.  Beth Levine

Today, 2:153:15 p.m. Ed Asner will appear on the Downtown Stage in a

discussion titled Politics Present and Past.

AUTHORS and Franken was named the winner by only 312 votes.
After months of legal challenges from Coleman, Franken

Al Franken took his seat seven months later. He was re-elected in

2014 with 53% of the vote.

A Comedian Makes a Franken says that he wrote the memoir because he had
some time to kill during a 2015 solo vacation in rural

Mid-Career Switch
The last time Al Franken appeared at BookExpo was in
2003. He and former Fox News personality Bill OReilly
exchanged harsh words during an Authors Breakfast that
was broadcast live on C-Spans Book TV. Recalling the
argument, which began in the green room and continued
on the dais, Franken laughs. His wife, who watched it on
television, told him that she was afraid that [OReilly] was
going to stab me in the neck.
In the intervening 14 years, circumstances have changed for both men.
Franken is now the U.S. senator from Minnesota and has just released a
memoir, Al Franken: Giant of the Senate (Twelve). Bill OReilly? Well...
Franken says that his new book tells the story of a nice Jewish boy from
Minnesota, who grew up, moved to New York City, became a comedian, and
then made a mid-career switch to politics. Franken was one of the original
writers for Saturday Night Live, and later became a cast member.
After writing six books, including such politically charged satires as Rush
Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them
(the book that OReilly took umbrage with back in 2003), Franken returned
to Minnesota. In 2008, he ran for the U.S. Senate against the incumbent,
Republican Norm Coleman. The election was so close that there was a recount,
Minnesota, and he wanted to answer once and for all the
same questions that everyone asks him: Which is more
fun, the U.S. Senate or Saturday Night Live? How did
he successfully make the transition from comedian to
senator? What is it like to be a U.S. senator? Most of the
book is about the Senate, Franken says, but I also write
about SNL, and that first campaign, as well as how the
Senate works. Franken describes Al Franken: Giant of
the Senate as an honest book [with] laughs oplenty,
and some dishing.
Franken notes that a sense of humor is helpful in any field, but especially
in politics. Humor, Franken says, is shorthand for someone getting to
know you. As his more conservative colleagues in Congress have gotten to
know him, he explains, they have come to realize that he skewered them in
his previous books not just to make fun of them, but, rather, because hes
just funny. One unexpected benefit of laughing often and loudly, he notes,
is that his staff always know where he is on the Senate floor. They can hear
me on the monitors, he says.  Claire Kirch
Today, 11:15 a.m.12:15 p.m. Al Franken will be on the Main Stage with
comedian Marc Maron in an event theyre calling, WTF Is Happening,
Senator Franken?

Listening to Jennifer Egan talk about writing fiction
brings to mind the famous quote from E.L. Doc-
torow: Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you
can make the whole trip that way.
Egan rarely starts with a plot or characters, she
wait to see what comes out of that,
she says.
This time her search led Egan to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard during the
pieter m . van jattem Depression and WWII. In her first
historical novel, Manhattan Beach
(Scribner, Oct.), she tackles organized
crime, the Merchant Marine, womens roles
during the war, and class conflict. Its about as
far away from the punk rock scene of her Pulitzer
Prizewinning novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad,
as a plot can get.
I was inspired by old photos of New York and
the paramount importance of the waterfront in
those pictures, Egan says. I knew it theoretically,
but seeing that the whole center of gravity of the

VISIT US AT BOOTH #408 city was at its edges was revelatory.

While doing research at the Brooklyn Historical
Society, Egan found a cache of letters between
Alfred Kolkin and his wife, Lucy Kolkin. They met
working at the Navy Yard. When he joined the
Navy, she continued working at the Yard. Her let-
ters reveal many nuggets about the physical work,
the racism, and the unions. She was really the
one who brought the war years to life for me in
terms of a woman working there. As I was doing
this research, it felt like she was becoming my
friend, Egan says.
At one point, Lucy fantasized about the war
ending and where their lives would take them.
Egan felt she had to know what happened to her
friend. Egan typed her name into a computer
and was immediately taken to her 1997 obituary.
She leapt from reading about this excited woman,
imagining her future life, to reading her endnote.
Egan ended up writing Reading Lucy, about
the experience, which was published in an essay
collection, Brooklyn Was Mine (2008). After that
book came out, Lucys daughter tracked down
Egan, and they toured the Navy Yard with Alfred,
then in his 90s.
Egan began writing Manhattan Beachas
she does all her novelswithout an outline, plot,
or characters. I write my first draft by hand,
because it helps me to get outside of myself. It
ends up a terrible mess, but generally there is a
glimmer of what this thing could be. Then I make
a map, trying to make something rational and
doable out of a big messy outpouring of mostly
instinctive material. I definitely need the rational
side. I just cant lead with it, she says.

AUTHORS
Nelson DeMille
An Affair with Cuba
In the early 1960s, a family of Cuban refugees escaped to suburban New
York, where they found a home in the middle-class Long Island neighborhood
where author Nelson DeMille grew up. The parents, who were very bitter
over losing everything, first piqued DeMilles interest in Cubas police state.
I knew there was a story there, he says. But it wasnt until nearly three
decades later, when he visited Cuba for the first time, that a novel about the
island began to take shape.
DeMilles 20th book and his first with Simon & Schuster, The Cuban Affair
(Sept.) puts this troubled country in the spotlight. Daniel Mac MacCor-
mick, a U.S. Army vet who completed two Afghanistan tours, finds a new life
as a fishing boat captain in Key West, Fla. His bland, everyday charters are
buoyed by covert adventure when he is asked to make the journey to Cuba
with an enigmatic exile and a young woman to uncover a stash of money hid-
den by an migr from Castros revolution.
DeMille set out to go beyond the romantic aura of pre-1959 vintage cars,
cigars, and rum cocktails and delve deeper into the countrys complexities.
In October 2015, he and his wife spent 11 days exploring Cuba. With him
were his childhood friends who, through a connection to former Secretary of
State John Kerry, orchestrated a meeting for all of them with Ambassador
Jeffrey DeLaurentis at the newly opened American Embassy in Havana, one
of the highlights of DeMilles sojourn.
DeMille observed the ravages of an almost 60-year Communist reign up
close. First impressions color perceptions, and for me it felt like the Caribbean
with a layer of police presence, he says. Hot and sunny, but with a Soviet
pall. Its a primitive economy that neglects infrastructure. People make $20
a month, and theres a ration book. This generates a black market, but even
then you cant show your wealth. Its true communism: everybody has nothing.
Throughout his trip, DeMille met numerous Cubans who were hungry for
positive change; others were satisfied with the status quo. This sharp divide
of determination and optimism versus feelings of isolation and resentment is
interwoven in Macs own clandestine mission, opening the main characters
eyes as much as DeMilles.
Despite the poverty and crumbling buildings, DeMille was inspired by
hopeful changes like the growing number of legal, private restaurants, as
well as the lively cultural scene, teeming with quality music, dance, and visual
arts. I saw people on the promenade singing and dancing and throwing off
their troubles of the day. Its sundown freedom. Havana after dark makes
America look like a convent, he says.  Alia Akkam
Today, 10 a.m. Nelson DeMille will sign at the Simon & Schuster booth

Thats the best umbrella, I think, encompassing thrillers, suspense, mystery,
she says. Whats important to me is that the book is driven by the readers

writer who hails from a family of four sisters (including authors Nora, Delia,

an essential element of structure, which Ephron calls a comforting thing.

Life and Death, and the 1968 Election
Lawrence ODonnell, host of The Last
Word on MSNBC, has some advice for
booksellers who have been in stress
over the 2016 election results: chill
out. Americans have had to contend
with far worse than having a crazily
attention getting and wild man like
Donald Trump elected president.
For ODonnell, author of Playing
with Fire: The 1968 Election and the
Transformation of American Politics
(Penguin, Nov.), the 1968 election was
a matter of life and deathnothing
less, especially for younger voters.
The U.S. was in the midst of the Vietnam War, and young men were being
drafted into the army. Half a million Americans were sent to Vietnam, and
about 58,000 of them were killed. Its hard to imagine today, ODonnell
says of the draft. But back then, something coming in the mail could send
you out to die. Everyone in America felt this election intensely. War and
peace were on the ballot.
From the beginning, the 1968 presidential campaign was the stuff of high
drama, ODonnell says. For the first time in U.S. history, an incumbent presi-
dent, Lyndon Johnson, was challenged from within his own political party for
the nomination and decided not to run for re-election. The Republican nomi-
nee, Richard Nixon, had been defeated when he ran against John F. Kennedy
in 1960. His candidacy was the greatest comeback in American politics.
President Kennedys younger brother, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated
the night he won the California primary, which in itself is as Shakespearean
a tragedy as weve ever had in American politics. And then there was the
1968 Democratic Convention, with its fistfights inside the Chicago conven-
tion hall and riots outside.
ODonnell points out that the chain of events leading to Nixon winning the
presidency began when a poet ran for president. If Eugene McCarthy had
not decided to challenge Johnson for the nomination, he says, Bobby would
not have run and would not have been assassinated. And Johnson would have
run again and been re-elected. Everything came out of this one decision.
Throughout, there were many moments with implications for the future,
and for minor players who subsequently became major ones. Bill Clinton was
a junior staffer on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Ronald Reagan
ran for the Republican nomination. And Nixon met Roger Ailes in the makeup
room before going on The Mike Douglas Show. Nixon was so impressed with
Ailes that he asked him to join his campaign. If that chance meeting hadnt
happened, ODonnell says, Ailes probably would not have founded Fox News
almost 30 years later.
ODonnell acknowledges that while 1968 was the most chaotic presidential
campaign ever, 2016 might be second, largely because Trump is a chaotic
person. Otherwise, he notes, the 2016 campaign was quite normal. He
also provides some comfort to those who have marched to protest the Trump
administrations policies. Although Nixon won the election and Vietnam
dragged on for seven more years, the peace movement ultimately prevailed.
The war would have gone on much longer without all the protests. It shows
how long you have to fight when you are protesting the government,
ODonnell says. Claire Kirch
Today, 2:153:15 p.m. Lawrence ODonnell will appear on a panel on
Politics Present and Past on the Downtown Stage.
Today, 3:304:30 p.m. ODonnell will sign at the Penguin Random House
booth (1921, 2021).

Q&A on the happiness industry. It takes life as a whole, the good and the bad.

Eva Woods
A Pessimists Take
on Happiness
Attending BookExpo with her new book,
Something Like Happy (Graydon House,
Sept.), is a dream come true for Eva
Woods. I grew up in a small Irish town with
no bookshop for miles around, and so I still dont take it for granted that I
can slip inside one, sniff the lovely paper smell, and browse among the
books. Booksellers are some of the worlds unsung heroes! she says.
Something Like Happy will be the launch title of Harlequins new Graydon
House imprint. How does that make you feel?
This is the first time Ive ever been published in the U.S., and to be the lead
title of this incredible new imprint is a huge honor. Everyone at Graydon
House has been amazing to work with.
The book drew its inspiration from the #100HappyDays social media
trope. What drew you to the topic?
My first experience with #100happydays was seeing a few friends posting on
Facebook, and although I was skeptical at first, I noticed I was looking for-
ward to seeing what theyd post each day. I started to wonder if small acts
like that could really make a difference. The book is sort of a pessimists take
We have to ask: what would you do if you had 100 days left to live?
Id make sure everyone knew I loved them, and, like Polly, one of the main
characters in Something Like Happy, it would be hard not to leave behind
some wise advice, too. I would probably also go on a round-the-world
trip and see as many different things as I could. Plus, Id definitely eat as
much food as I could every day. Im planning to do the same while Im in
New York.
Do you think a person can feel happiness if theyve never felt its opposite?
In the Western world, most of us live such comfortable lives, and yet many
people are lonely, empty, and lost. I do think that experiencing sadness and
loss can open your eyes to the joy in the world. Of course, as I try to say in the
book, its really hard to keep that level of awareness all the time. Eventually,
some petty thing will annoy youthats just human nature. But we can all
remind ourselves from time to time how lucky we are.
Eva Woods is a pseudonym; you write crime fiction as Claire McGowan. Do
you draw from different sides of yourself for the two?
My natural bent is probably to be more cynical and pessimistic, so in many
ways my Eva Woods books are a way to remind myself of all the good things
in life. Womens fiction is such a powerful genre, if you can call it a genre. Im
interested in exploring the issues we all deal withrelationships, work, fam-
ily, and even deathin a way that feels true to real life. Beth Levine

boosted HarperCollinss bottom line, lifted Harlequins top line, and enabled HarperCol-
linss ambitious global publishing strategy. With the introduction of new Harlequin
imprintsand new directionsreaders, too, are seeing the

Our aim is to reach a broad audience of readers who value Meades
engrossing, original stories that feature little-known facts,
unique perspectives, and unusual experiences, Joseph says.
Inaugural Hanover Square titles will also include works of nar-
rative nonfiction by ABC News chief legal analyst, Dan
Abrams, and author David Fisher.

Eva Woods, author of Something Like Happy (Sept.), will
kick off the inaugural list for the new imprint Graydon House
Books. The imprint will focus on commercial womens fiction,
overseen by Dianne Moggy, v-p, editorial, and executive edi-
tor Susan Swinwood. Titles will be aimed at book club readers
and run the gamut from humor through emotional tearjerk-
ers to edgier dramas.
Eva Woods
Were seeing a real shift toward bigger, more layered com-
mercial fiction, where the characters are dealing with a variety of relationshipswith
siblings, spouses, friends, lovers, says Swinwood, and thats where Graydon Houses
focus will be. Other titles slated to appear from Graydon House include Before I Let You
Go by Kelly Rimmer and Now That You Mention It by bestselling author Kristan Higgins.
(For an interview with Eva Woods, see p. 32.)
Brianna Wolfson is the author of Rosie Colored Glasses

In Trump Era, Libraries

Face Funding Threat
Last month, librarians across the nation got a welcome bit of good news: a belated fiscal
2017 budget deal actually increased federal funding for libraries by roughly $1 million
for the year ending September 30better late than never. But with the 2018 budget
SKYHORSE process underway, libraries still face some of the most serious political problems in

PUBLISHING recent memoryincluding a 2018 budget proposal by President Trump that seeks to
eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and with it virtually all federal
library funding.
Libraries are facing the challenge of a lifetime, Keith Fiels, executive director of the
American Library Association, told attendees at the ALAs National Library Legislative
Day, in Washington, D.C., in May. The ALAs Washington Office executive director, Emily
Sheketoff, agreed. This is a very tough year, Sheketoff told librarians. If a tax bill goes
through, that means less money [for libraries]. If a wall goes up, that means less money,
referring to two of Trumps signature policy proposals.
But librarians and library supporters are fighting back, and have found a strong ally
publishers and library vendors. In a May 10 letter to lawmakers, executives from eight
leading companiesincluding Baker & Taylor; Follett; Gale/Cengage; OverDrive;
Peachtree Publishers; Penguin Random House; ProQuest; and Rosen Publishing
urged Congress to support library funding. And a week later, dozens more companies,
as well as a number of trade organizations had formed the Corporate Committee for
Library Investment, an organization dedicated to persuading Congress to support
library funding. The association enables any company, large or small, to pitch in (go to
www.fundlibraries.com) and sign on to a letter to lawmakers.
The bottom line, literally and figuratively, the letter reads, is that the health of our
businesses, our workers and all of our communities is inextricably linked to the health of
libraries and their continued federal funding. The letter emphasizes that library funding
may be among the very best yielding investment that Congress makes.... Libraries are
very much critical national infrastructure: ubiquitous, indispensable and economically
essential. Andrew Richard Albanese

Visit Brooklyn, with Rowman & Littlefield

Only a few decades ago, Brooklyn was known nationwide as
a quiet, working-class borough. Today, the borough across
the East River from Manhattan is home to wealthy bankers,
artsy trendsetters, and celebrities. The phrase tres Brook-
lyn has even become a compliment among gourmands in
Parisian restaurants.
Maybe youve visited Brooklyn during your trip to Book-
Expo, or maybe not. Either way, you can take a bit of Brook-
lyn home with you, thanks to Librarians Lounge sponsor
Rowman & Littlefield. While supplies last, grab a copy of The New Brooklyn by Kay
Hymowitz, a fascinating look at the boroughs dramatic transformation.

How Baker & Taylor Program

Can Help Public and School
Libraries Work Better Together
In 2014, local leaders in Johnson County, Kans., faced two problems. Teachers were
struggling to provide students the resources needed to continue their studies outside
the classroom, and its public libraries werent seeing its juvenile titles exactly flying off
the shelves. So they turned to Baker & Taylor for help. The result: the Axis 360 Commu-
nity Sharing program, which can help communities get the most out of their library
purchases.
In Johnson County, the program meant Johnson County schools could now rely on its
neighboring public libraries to supply books and resources to studentswhether on
campus or studying from home. And Johnson County public libraries were able to better
utilize their existing content, as well as more efficiently purchase new e-books based on
the schools needs. As a bonus, the program helped attract new and existing library
users, leading to an impressive 44% increase in circulation for the public libraries chil-
drens and teens collections.
B&T officials say they now have live community shares in place in a number of other
locales, with several large urban systems now in the discussions.
If this sounds like something your library might benefit from, stop by the Librarians
Lounge. Baker & Taylor representatives will be there throughout BookExpo to answer
your questions about Axis 360s Community Sharing program, or any other B&T
program. A.R.A.

Bigger productions are also part of the current audiobooks world. The

featured a 166-person cast, including Saunders, his wife, children, agent,
editor, and Penguin Random House staff, in addition to celebrity names like
David Sedaris, Nick Offerman, and Susan Sarandon. Cobb notes the simi-
larly large cast Galaxy Press employed for its Earphone Awardwinning pro-
duction of L. Ron Hubbards Battlefield Earth.
According to Cobb, there is a growing acceptance of the audio format as a

took a few minutes to talk to PW about his
latest book, If I Understood You, Would I

communicating through the spoken word.
Its interesting how a persons voice can

writing, he says. The tone can convey all
kinds of extra thoughts to a sentence, like, this is even more important than
the last thing I said, or I mean this in a lighthearted way, for gods sake, dont
take it too literally. The trick, of course, is to start out with a text that conveys
as much of that intimate tone and nuance as possible.
Though he adds that nuance can at times be difficult to achieve. Reading
a whole book out loud is kind of a disorienting experience. Ive read four

American writer might have, she says, she asked more probing

Marieke Nijkamp questions. Her American friends, she adds, helped her under-
stand the quirks of public high school culture.

Books Saved Her Life
Marieke Nijkamp credits books with shaping her world-
view, how she relates to herself, and even saving her life. I
am so thankful for booksellers and everyone else who gets
books into the hands of kids who need them, she says. She
is committed to paying back by writing novels that include
diverse characters and deal with difficult issues.
Nijkamps debut novel, This Is Where It Ends (2016), tells
the story of a high school shooting that lasts for 54 min-
utes. Four people with various connections to the shooter,
including his sister and his ex-girlfriend, tell the story.
The inspiration for the book came during Nijkamps first
visit to the U.S., six weeks after the Sandy Hook Elemen-
tary School shooting. Having grown up riding a bicycle to
school in her native Netherlands, Nijkamp recalls seeing
school buses for the first time. It made her reflect on cul-
tural differences between the U.S. and Europe in terms of
school experiences and student safety, she says. The idea
of a school shooter being probably somebody you know,

Childrens Book and Author Breakfast, Special Events Hall.
Nijkamp seems to be moving alphabetically down the list of
U.S. states for settings for her fiction: her next novel, Before I
Let Go (Sourcebooks Fire, Jan. 2018), is set in Alaska, another
state she has never visited. Like This Is Where It Ends, she says,
her sophomore effort explores themes of friendship and grief
and isolation and the stories that shape us. Before I Let Go
tells the story of a young woman who returns to her hometown
for her childhood best friends funeral, only to discover that the
town and its residents are nothing like she remembers. There is
a mystery surrounding her friends death, with townspeople say-
ing only that it was meant to be.
Nijkamp, a former member of the board of directors of We
Need Diverse Books, plans to inject politics into her talk. Its not
just President Trumps administration demonizing Muslims: Euro-
peans also are discriminating against refugees and others, she
notes. Its easier to [demonize] something if its distant, face-
less, if its entirely strange to you,she adds. Reading books,
especially those that contain characters with diverse perspec-
tives, can only help in understanding each other.  Claire Kirch

Bestselling adult author Jennifer Weiner made her childrens book debut last

Sourcebooks Celebrates a
Decade of Jabberwocky

In 2006, Sourcebooks took an auspicious leap into the childrens arena with
Poetry Speaks to Children, edited by Elise Paschen, illus. by Wendy Rasmus-
sen. Packaged with a CD of poets reading their works, this 128-page collec-
tion was inspired by the publishers bestselling 2001 adult title, Poetry
Speaks. The childrens offshoot in turn inspired the 2007 launch of Jabber-
wocky, Sourcebooks childrens imprint.
Ten years later, Poetry Speaks to Children has more than 225,000 copies
in print, and Jabberwockys list has expanded to encompass a wide range of
genres and bestsellers. Within a decade, according to data the publisher cites
from a Nielson Bookscan November 2016 report, Sourcebooks childrens
program has become the 16th largest childrens publisher in the U.S.
Just a decade since the publisher released its debut book for young readers,
childrens and YA book sales account for more than 50% of the companys
business, reports Sourcebooks v-p and editorial director Todd Stocke. From
the start, Jabberwocky strove to develop a very broad-based list, in terms of
genres and formats, which is one of the hallmarks of Sourcebooks, he says.
Providing evidence of that wide editorial swath are some of the imprints
top-selling books, which range from I Love You More by Laura Duksta, illus.
by Karen Keesle, to Hip Hop Speaks to Children, edited by Nikki Giovanni,
and The Greatest Moments in Sports by Len Berman.
Jabberwockys editorial director, Steve Geck, who joined Sourcebooks from
Greenwillow in 2011, gained an appreciation for a wide scope of genres by
spending time in his parents bookstore. What we look for at Jabberwocky,
he says, are great stories and cool storytelling.
Sourcebooks offerings for young readers have multiplied and diversified
with the addition of the Sourcebooks Fire YA imprint in 2010, which Geck
also oversees. That same year, the publisher acquired certain assets, includ-
ing 64 backlist titles, of the gift book publisher Marianne Richmond Studios.
Stocke reports that Sourcebooks has sold three million copies of Richmonds
books. This fall, Jabberwocky will release three new titles by the author: If I
Could Keep You Little, The Night Night Book, and Beautiful Blue Eyes.
Jabberwocky has also expanded its list with the addition of books published
in partnership with licensors like Sesame Workshop and Sandra Magsamen,
as well as regional and holiday-specific titles. And in June 2016 Sourcebooks
hired Kelly Barrales-Saylor as editorial director for childrens nonfiction, to
grow the publishers list in that area. This past January, she spearheaded
Jabberwockys partnership with March 4th, under which Sourcebooks
acquired the publishing rights to the companys Little Pickle Press titles.
Barrales-Saylor also heads a new board-book series that headlines Jab-
berwockys fall list: Chris Ferries Baby University. This series gives toddlers
a jump-start in science basics, with such offerings as Quantum Physics for
Babies and General Relativity for Babies.
Visitors to the Sourcebooks booth (2521) can enter a 10th anniversary
raffle to win a library of bestselling Jabberwocky titles, and pick up give-
aways promoting fall releases from the publishers imprints. Sally Lodge

Neil Patrick Harris,

Lemony Snicket, and
Chris Harris Create Magic
In an event billed as A Fortunate Stage Talk, actor Neil Patrick Harris, of
Doogie Howser and How I Met Your Mother fame, who currently stars as
Count Olaf in the TV adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events, will reunite
with Chris Harris (no relation), who was the executive producer of How I Met
Your Mother, and A Series of Unfortunate Events author Lemony Snicket.
They will talk up their fall books from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers,
but, as Neil says, expect lots of
laughs and Scrabble-worthy wordy
banterand perhaps some literal
magic, since, as a bona fide magi-
cian, he no doubt has some tricks
up his sleeve to delight the audience,
starting with his debut childrens
book.
The Magic Misfits is the first in
Neil Harriss series about a slightly
offbeat group of children who love
the craft of magic. Assisted by their
wise magic mentor, they try to get
to the bottom of suspicious hap-
penings in town, exposing the
Neil Patrick Harris
shenanigans of all sorts of charla-
tans who sound like escapees from the pages of A Series of Unfortunate
Events. Two of my favorite things are magic and reading, which collided with
two new favorite things: my twin six-year-old children, Neil says.
The Bad Mood and the Stick, Snickets new picture book, illus. by Matthew
Forsythe, demonstrates how negativityin the form of a stickcan move
from person to person, wreaking havoc. But, adds Snicket, even when there
is negativity in the air, something wondrous can happen.
Snicket wants parents and children to realize that the world is an unpre-
dictable and confusing place, and its made even more confusing to children
when adults tell them that the world isnt so fickle. The author advocates
that people just accept the worlds capriciousness, even if they cannot bring
themselves to revel in it.
Despite his books theme, Snicket promises not to bring any negativity into
Javits, because there are enough people already at Javits in a bad mood.
Theres something about a large, windowless convention hall that brings out
grumpiness in people. Even though booksellers may feel pessimistic as they
wander around Javits, he says, that can be alleviated by discovering a book
that can cause such delight that they forget the inevitable troubles of
bookselling.
Chris Harris did not originally set out to publish the collection of poems
that became Im Just No Good at Rhyming and Other Nonsense for Mischie-
vous Kids and Immature Grown-Ups, his picture book, illus. by Lane Smith.
The poems were originally written for his children, because they were super
serious babies who were highly skeptical of the world, and he wanted to
make them laugh with weird rhymes. Writing a book, he observes, was
magical and a fun escape from writing for television, which, he says, is a
very collaborative process. It takes hundreds of people to create a TV show,
while when writing a book, I can hole up in a cafe and type something out,
and what I write is what people will read.  Claire Kirch

Today, 23 p.m. Neil Patrick Harris and Lemony Snicket will engage in
conversation, moderated by Chris Harris, on the Main Stage.

Charlesbridge Debuts
Teen Imprint

For the first time since its founding three decades ago, Charlesbridge Pub-
lishing in Watertown, Mass., is expanding into YA. This fall, the company will
launch Charlesbridge Teen. Originally started to publish picture books, the
press added middle grade titles a decade ago. In 2010, Charlesbridge began
publishing adult books following its acquisition of Imagine Publishing.
As weve expanded in other areas, the question was when, not if, we would
expand into YA, says Yolanda Scott, associate publisher and editorial director.
Its a natural outgrowth of our publishing program. Charlesbridges plans
to move into young adult titles began two years ago with the hiring of Monica
Perez, who had been executive editor of HMH Books for Young Readers.
Galleys for Charlesbridges inaugural list of three YA titles will be available
during BookExpo at its booth (2905), where author Marit Weisenberg will
sign copies of her debut novel, Select (Oct.). This is the first book in a para-
normal series, the Select, about a girl who accidentally jeopardizes her familys
anonymity by demonstrating her superhuman powers.
Weisenberg, who has worked in film and television development, started the
novel after she moved to Austin, Tex., several years ago. Through her children,
she met writer Amanda Eyre Ward, and ended up taking a class with her on
writing a novel in a year. Although it took Weisenberg a little longer, closer
to 18 months, the extra time paid off: the author received a positive response
from agent Kerri Sparks in one week. Weisenberg also credits her work in
television with helping her make a smooth transition to novel writing.
Reading so many scripts helped me with pacing, she notes.
As for trying her hand at romance, Weisenberg says, I knew I wanted to
write about star-crossed lovers. She thought about writing a romance with
a supernatural twist after reading books like Rainbow Rowells Eleanor &
Park, Stephenie Meyers Twilight, and John Greens The Fault in Our Stars.
This fall, in addition to Select, Charlesbridge will also publish Stephen
Daviess YA thriller/love story, Blood and Ink (Sept.). Set against the back-
drop of the 2012 military coup in Mali, the novel has already been published
in the U.K. and Germany.
Its no accident that the initial Charlesbridge Teen list features so many
debuts, since part of Charlesbridges mission is to find new voices, Scott says.
Michael Currinders Running Full Tilt (Sept.), which deals with the bond
between a cross-country runner and his autistic brother, is also a first novel.
Coming in spring 2018 is Tracy Barretts My Free Fall Summer, a semiauto-
biographical novel about a girl whose mother dies skydiving. Another debut
novel, Caitlin Seals Twice Dead, as well as a fantasy series, will launch in
summer 2018.
With the new imprint, Charlesbridges list will inch up from 50 books a year
in 2014 to 60 in 2017, including six to eight adult titles published under its
Imagine imprint. Charlesbridge Teen will not, however, change the composition
of Charlesbridges list, which continues to be predominantly picture books.

Today, 34 p.m. Marit Weisenberg will be signing at the Charlesbridge

booth (2905).

Chronicle Books Is Golden
Who would think that a publishing company founded during San Franciscos
Summer of Love would be thriving 50 years later, and still based on the
West Coast, adhering to its motto: see things differently?
For Chronicle Books president Tyrrell Mahoney, hired in 1998 as a sales
and marketing associate, the reasons for the companys longevity and suc-
cess are simple: While weve had a lot of variability and transformation
within the publishing itself, theres been consistency within our leadership
group. Now president of the McEvoy Group, which owns Chronicle Books,
Jack Jensen is coming up on 40 years with the company. Mahoney
emphasizes Chronicles innovation in adding adult trade books and the
publishers focus on illustrated book publishing and gift publishing.
Christine Carswell, publisher of Chronicle Books, who joined as executive
editor in the adult trade division in 1994, believes the corpo-
rate culture is imbued by the presss motto. Its actually
much more than a slogan, says Carswell. Its inher-
ent to who we are and how we do things. Seeing
things differently is what were always seeking to
do here. Its also something that we like to
invite our partners to doour authors, illus-
trators, all of our creative talent, the vendors
with whom we work in manufacturing and
Chronicles pop-up book, Paper Blossoms, crafted by paper engineer

also hope that our publishing encourages con-
sumers to see things differently, too.
Looking at some of the milestones over the years, Carswell notes, The
Beatles Anthology (2000) is the book that put us on the map internationally. authors work, but also how we can draw lines to other products. For example,
BOOKEXPOAMERICA.COM

Nationally, I think it was Griffin & Sabine, a magical correspondence featur-
ing actual letters, postcards, doodles, and ephemera that expanded into five
books. Jack Jensen went to what was then called ABA in 1991. The response
of the booksellers there to the first Griffin & Sabine was so enthusiastic that
he came back to the office and decreed we should up the printing from
10,000 to 30,000, which seemed like a radical number. And then, of course,
it went on to sell over three million copies.
Another big move for Chronicle was the creation of the gift division in 1993.
That was the start of innovating around our adult publishing into other
forms of paper, Mahoney says. It began with calendars, but became far
more than that: journals, stationery kits, and now developing
products outside of paper, trying to identify ways to bring our
brand and identity into metal, ceramics, fabric, and textiles.
Consumers claim that they see Chronicle Books everywhere,
which is not surprising because the books and other products can
be found in car washes, pet stores, cosmetic counters,
gift stores, and department stores. A new micro-store
just opened in Japan. Christina Amini, publishing
director for formats, says one of her favorite and
unusual products is Paper Blossoms. Its a
pop-up book featuring five different flower
arrangements. Partnering with the brilliant
paper engineer Ray Marshall, we pushed the
boundaries of what paper can do to create bou-
quets of lasting color and beauty, she says.
Carswell also believes that Chronicle Books has a singular approach to
marketing. We think not just about individual iterations of an artists or an

transportation in San Francisco, Handler made a discovery:
Im completely invisible to the young people who are
around me. They will be having conversations about their
lives right over my head, he says. As a writer, [invisibility]
is an endless boon.
Fascinated by the cadences of 21st-century teens,
Handler used his authorial invisibility to capture how this
new generation talks about friendship, relationships, and
sexuality. The result is a steamy new book, All the Dirty
Parts (Bloomsbury, Aug.).
The novel follows the sexual adventures of Cole, a pro-
miscuous young high school boy who has mastered the art
of seduction. Coles erotic conquests are revealed in vivid,
immediate prose. Its the print equivalent of Snapchats from
a randy teenager. As the school year continues, Coles
sexual obsessions give way to thornier problemshe struggles to identify
his sexual orientation and sustain a meaningful relationship.
Handler has often revisited high school in his writing. His debut novel, The
Basic Eight (1998), cast a satirical eye on high school as the adult narrator
reframed her teenage diary and letters. A few of the short narratives in
Adverbs (2005) also featured teenage protagonists. In Why We Broke Up
(2011), Handler wrote about a doomed high school romance in the romantic
and old-fashioned medium of a long letter.
In contrast, All the Dirty Parts is told through short and intense dispatches,
a style that may be more familiar to readers raised on text messages and
social media posts. Sensational news reports regularly conjure adult anxieties
about teens Facebook obsessions and sexually explicit texts, but Handler is
less critical. I actually see a lot of ways that digital communication is really

ending loneliness, particularly in matters of sexuality, he
says. Handler (like many other readers) remembers the
difficulty of engaging in open talks about sexuality as a
teen, but these new technologies make such conversations
easier.
While writing All the Dirty Parts, Handler revisited the
authors who inspired him as a serious reader from the
ages of 17 to 20. The books were all filthy, he says, recalling
the bold sexuality that drove literature by Milan Kundera,
Oscar Hijuelos, and Anas Nin. I remember [sexuality]
being such a huge part of the conversation internally. And
I thought it was really alluring; it was really terrifying; it was
really excitingall these things at once, he explains.
Handler worries that young adult literature has steered
clear of male sexuality for too long, and young boys have
no literary road map to follow. Even though most teenagers are wrestling
with sexuality, Handler thinks it is the most policed aspect of content.
There [are] just so many heroes in young adult literature who are murdering
people, behaving like spies, or doing all kinds of really abominable behavior
that [still] makes them heroes and noble, Handler concludes. But actually,
I think theres very little treatment of male sexuality as most men remember
themselves.
Handler doesnt plan on making a career out of this kind of sexually driven
novel, but All the Dirty Parts could forge some new literary territory for other
authors to explore. Jason Boog

But the day after the election, Chavez was met with silence.
People were speechless. So he went back to his original note-
book idea and bought pens, markers, paper, tape, and sticky
notes. At 2 p.m., Chavez says, I went into the 14th Street
station at Sixth Avenue. Theres a tunnel connecting the 1,2,3, F, and L trains,
and people hate it. But I love that tunnel. Theres not a lot of train sound,
and you can have conversations there. I wrote Express Yourself and a note
saying, Im sad and my friends are upset. People started writing on the sticky
notes. I just sat there. After a while I had to step away. Between 2 p.m. and
midnight, 2,000 people wrote on sticky notes. It was beautiful to watch.
Video of the phenomenon went viral, and that evening, television news
reporters arrived to interview Chavez. His main concern was the notes. I didnt
want them to be vandalized, Chavez says, so I took them all down, which
took me until 2 a.m. The next day, when I arrived at 2 p.m. to put the notes
back up, there were 400 sticky notes already up and a bunch of reporters
waiting.
During his time in the station, Chavez was approached by several book

Before slow cookers became the must have for
every well-appointed kitchen, Phyllis Good was
preaching the gospel of crockpots to millions of
worshippers. Her Fix It and Forget It series has
sold almost 12 million copies at this point. Fol-

thrilled that she is back with a new book (possibly
the first of a series) called Stock the Crock (Time,
Inc./Oxmoor House, Sept.).
When the first Fix It and Forget It cookbooks
came out, there were few slow cooker cookbooks,
so Good packed her books with around 700 reci-
pes. Now there is a deluge of recipes between
books and online, and the question has changed to, Which are the best show how the recipe can be tweaked to accommodate all those differing
