I just sent in my application to attend as an author. I hope I will be asked to attend because it sounds like a great time and a good way to get my book into the hands of young adults.
Jeffrey B. Allen I will be signing my book at the New York Book Expo in my publisher's booth. That was one of your questions on the registration form so I wasn't sure if that information was conveyed.
