Click to Play

www.bookshorts.com ... Speed dating at BEA? You bet. In a clever spin on a practice prevalent in the singles dating scene, the Children's Booksellers and Publishers Committee, a cooperative committee of the ABA, ABC and CBC, has devised a way for booksellers to get to know authors - quickly. (see Publishers Weekly for more of this article!)

"Speed Dating with Children's Authors" was also a terrific way for BookShorts to record excellent mini-author interviews! This is just a quickly compiled, day-after preview -- watch the blog for more!
