Participate in Autographing at BookExpo America (BEA)

BookExpo America (BEA)'s Autographing Area provides the perfect venue to showcase your author's latest work and puts your author(s) face-to-face with booksellers! You may showcase first-time published new authors or best-selling authors. Many publishers have credited their participation in the Autographing Area at BEA as an integral part to the success of their new release(s).

BEA has two Autographing opportunities, choose the one that best meets your needs...or choose both!

  • Autographing Area
    The Autographing Area will be open Tuesday, June 5 through Thursday, June 7 and provides everything a publisher needs for a successful signing experience. There is always a crowd and always excitement in the air in the BEA Autographing Area.

    Author participation in the Autographing Area is limited. Please submit your author signing requests early for the best chance of being included in this very special program.
  • In-Booth Autographing
    In-Booth Autographing allows for signings within your exhibit booth. We do however request that you have sufficient exhibit space and traffic control for your signings.
