Headed for
Four Days
Big Books:
Coming Up
Thursdays relative quiet
was followed by a much
busier Friday, with aisles
buzzing, lines snaking too
far to find the end. Fairgoers
stood patiently, waiting to
meet the author and get
that coveted signature on
the title page of the giveaway galley. Over at Random
House, mid-morning, I
spotted a bookseller; I dutifully copied the information from his badge (Harvey
Finkel, Clinton Bookshop,
Clinton, N.J.), before I
asked him: So what books
have you seen that youre
really excited about?
Im just on line for Carl
Hiaasen, he said, and not
much else. And sure
enough, looking up and
down and around, I saw
that Hiaasen line. And the
author himself, handsome,
blue-eyed, beautifully if
casually dressed, was
standing with Paul
Bogaards, Knopfs publicity
director, at the signing
table, waiting for the signing (of Hiaasens YA debut,
SkinkNo Surrender) to
officially begin.
Bogaards, a reliable
source of whats big, hot, or
in demand, told me, The
tension of the show is
informed by the quality of
the publishers list, and
alerted me to Love Me Back
by Merritt Tierce, which he
called tender and flinty;
he added that the new
James Ellroy, Perfidia,
which starts on December
6, 1941, is the book.

Shifting Opportunities
for Agents
Tackling the profound yet elusive changes in the marketplace that affect
the relationship between authors and agents, veteran literary agents discussed the ways in which they now approach their jobs at the Thursday
panel Beyond Authors: Self-Publishing & the New Agents.
Moderated by Christopher Kenneally of the Copyright Clearance Center,
panelists Robert Gottlieb, Jason Ashlock, Rachelle Gardner, and Steven
Axelrod were asked to describe their perspectives on the current situation,
which alternates between formats: digital, self-publishing, and traditional
publishing.
Gardner, founder of Books & Such Literary Management, said, Today I
always ask an author, What do you want out of your publishing career? I
find out what kind of personality type they are, whether they can handle
being a small business owner as a self-publisher, or not. I often find that
authors still value agents. Gardner said that, as an agent, she must connect
authors not just with publishers but with readers as well.
Gottlieb, who heads Trident Media Group, had a positive attitude about
the evolving formats of book publishing. The changes present new opportunities for traditional publishers, he said. In the beginning, most houses
were stunned by the changes in the marketplace, but publishers have now
pivoted and adjusted. E-books are a viable portion of every authors career,
and for publishers as well. Trident has a staff of five that works exclusively
with e-tailers. These staffers visit Amazon and Apple to discuss their clients,
and assist authors in renegotiating their contracts, including all revenue
streams.

thoughts.
Short, who lost both parents by the time he was 20 and lost his wife of 30
years when he was 60, says that writing is a way of puncturing something
thats disturbing. When you confront the hard stuff, its not as disturbing. He
says, I made a choice. My natural orientation was to be buoyant and
positive, so rather than being damaged, I think I became empowered. The
more you understand the hardships in life, the more you are able to
celebrate the good things.
One of the motivations to tell his story was to give fans a greater
knowledge of who I am and what has made me who I am. He
notes that as a clown boy with Letterman, Fallon, Conan, and a
long list of other talk show hosts, including Carson, he could be
reserved about the private aspects of his life. But, he notes, one
upside of getting older is that you gain some wisdom, and
owing to that he believes his book will be pretty good.
Short was not an overnight sensation. He describes his
trajectory to stardom as slow and steady wins the race, which
is why he thinks his book will have broad appeal, especially to
the average actor. His book is about the journey and the
process, about life and loss. While he has become well-known,
he points out that he has not achieved the star status of the likes
of John Travolta. In fact, as he jokingly told Conan, he imagines
one word on his gravestone: almost. His legions of fans would
disagree that there is anything short of complete when it comes to
this five-foot-seven-inch giant of the entertainment world.
Today, Short is one of the Breakfast speakers; later he and Amy
Poehler take center stage in the Special Events Hall at 12:30. Grab
your lunch and brown-bag it with these two comic geniuses.

Brunelle won four Emmys writing for Bill Nye, and now creates videos for
NPRs Science Friday and is often featured on Martha Stewarts radio networkwhen she is not writing kid-related books or enjoying life on Bainbridge
Island, Wash., with her husband and two young sons.
For her memoir, Mama Gone Geek: Calling on My Inner Science Nerd to
Help Navigate the Ups and Down of Parenthood (Shambhala/Roost, Oct.),
Brunelle knew she did not want to write a how-to and she definitely did not
want to sugarcoat things. I didnt want to come across as a know-it-all,
because I dont know it all, she says.
Mama Gone Geek consists of essays about different events in Brunelles
lifesome funny, like when she showed her sons how to make a battery from
a lemon and copper pennies during a blackout. But some things were really
hard to write about, as when her husband had sepsis and nearly died, and
her mother had Alzheimers.
In our culture, we hide the hard things, says Brunelle. But I wanted to
teach my kids that these things we go through are part of life. One of the
essays explores the juxtaposition of her older sons letting go of Santa at the
same time her mothers diseased brain had her believing in him again.
Brunelle is signing today, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m., at Table 5 in the
Autographing Area.

More Moose Shenanigans
In Mooses debut outing, Z Is for Moose, written
by Kelly Bingham and illustrated by Paul O.
Zelinsky, the impatient title character is not
pleased when his friend Zebra selects Mouse
rather than the obvious (to him) choice of
Mooseto represent the letter M in the
alphabet. In the collaborators companion volume, Circle, Square, Moose (Greenwillow, Sept.),
things again go comically awry when Moose
infiltrates a book called Circle, Square, Triangle
and refuses to obey when the narrator insists
he leave.
Zelinsky says that finding the right visual
persona for the strong-willed Moose was initially a challengebut a pleasant one. Moose
has quite a definite personalitythat was there
in the authors words, he says. But I tried not to look at other cartoon
moosein particular I didnt want Moose to look like Bullwinkle. Growing
up, I loved those cartoons, but I created Moose by mostly avoiding what
Bullwinkleand pictures of actual mooselook like. Though I was inspired
by real mooses massive bodies, funny-looking thin legs, and knobby knees. I
really identify with those knobby knees.
A versatile artist, Zelinsky creates picture book illustration that span the
classic, painterly style of his 1998 Caldecott-winning Rapunzel and Caldecott
Honor books Rumpelstiltskin and Hansel and Gretel; the folk art feel of
Caldecott Honorwinning Swamp Angel; and the whimsical, playful art of his
modern classic, The Wheels on the Bus, and Binghams Moose stories.
Which style is Zelinsky most comfortable with? Actually, I dont even want
to know if I favor one over another, he muses. Im not so much in touch with
my feelings as I am in touch with each story, and I love to try my hand at different thingsand hope Im doing the words justice. When I look at Rapunzel
now, I think, How did I do that? But in the actual doing of illustrations, it
feels totally natural.
Asked if he thinks Moose will make a third picture book appearance,
Zelinsky is positive: I do think Moose will be back, but the question is who
will be having a problem with him next time around? First it was Zebra, then
it was the book itselfso Im not sure who will have to cope with him next.
A longtime Brooklyn resident, Zelinsky is happy to make his way across
the East River to be at Javits today. Every time Ive gone to BEA, Ive loved it,
and every time I havent, Ive wished I had, he says, adding, meeting booksellers is really the biggest thing about BEA for me. Moose fans can find
Zelinsky signing Circle, Square, Moose today, 10:3011 a.m., at Table 6 in the
Autographing Area.

gles to overcome sorrow and find hope and solace. Tibn has an almost
uncanny ability to portray women, evidenced in Brooklyn and the collection
of stories Mothers and Sons. Tibn attributes this to being brought up by his
mother and surrounded by women. His father died when Tibn was only 12
and his mother had a sister who didnt marry until much later in life, so
Tibn lived in a home with women talking, women watching over me.
The publishers jacket copy for Nora Webster calls Tibn a writer at the
zenith of his career, and indeed, with the triumph of The Testament of Mary,
a bestselling novel and Broadway play that offers a bold interpretation of the
mother of Jesus, Tibn is attracting ever-increasing rave reviews and multitudes of readers. Asked if he himself noticed the uptick in attention, Tibn is
adamant in his response, saying, If a writer starts thinking about his career
rather than the next sentence, he is doomed. He insists, Books must be written in silence, in a sense of modesty. And he adds that a writer must be able
to laugh at himself.
Perhaps this humility allows him to be undaunted by the prospect of participating in this mornings Author Breakfast, where he will join the stage,
television, and screen stars Alan Cumming, Lena Dunham, and Martin Short
(89:30 a.m., Special Events Hall). Tibn believes that the organizers sensibly
wanted to mix it up with voices from there and there and there. Liz Hartman

Brave Parenting: A Buddhist Inspired
Guide to Raising Resilient Children
by Krissy Pozatek (Mar.) and Dont
Worry, Be Grumpy: Inspiring Stories
for Making the Most of Each
Moment by Ajahn Brahm (Oct.).
Were very excited about Brave
Parenting, says Lydia Anderson,
marketing and promotions manager. Krissy writes that parents
dont need to hover and overprotect
their children from everything,
because that can end up hurting
them. She says that letting them
that happens in the book actually happened to me, she insists about the
magical underpinnings to the novels contemporary setting. For example,
Dorset sat on a stalled subway train more than once while riding Bostons T,
and for all she knows, goblins were responsible for the breakdowns.
So much of everyday life is absolutely crazy, she points out. Wouldnt it
be great if all the crazy things that happen in our lives had a supernatural
explanation? Her daily commutes while she wrote her fantasy were like
living in my novel, Dorset says, adding that many of her observations landed
in the story.
For instance, she says, while the scientific explanation for the lavender
window panes on some historic Beacon Hill houses is that the 1800s-era glass
had been corrupted, in The Girl Who Never Was, the lavender glass signals to
supernatural beings that one of their kind lives in the house. You can do
whatever you want with fantasy, observes the author. You can have a talking rat. Youre in charge of your world.
Dorset will be in charge of her world today, 11:30 a.m.noon, when she
signs copies of The Girl Who Never Was at Table 15 in the Autographing Area.

Common Core:
Advice to Publishers
With the introduction of the Common
Core, the way students learn is about to
changeand publishers are evaluating
the impact of the changes on content
strategy. At their heart, the Common
Core State Standards represent a collaborative, state-led effort to improve educational outcomes based on a new, shared
set of standards. These standards apply
to math and language skills, and are
designed to encourage the critical thinking and reasoning skills essential for success in a globalized economy and society.
Youve probably read something about
the controversy surrounding the impleRoy Kaufman
mentation of the Common Corethe biggest issue involves testing. And if you check the BEA program, youll note
several panels on this hot topic. But the main elements of Common Core
are simple, if sweeping:
Standards: Student achievement varies greatly state by state. Establishing a nationwide standard of achievement, with assessments designed
to measure its effect, provides a context for improvement.
Readiness: Studies have long shown that U.S. students entering college
are underprepared for the rigors of higher education and of work beyond
that. Common Core addresses this by pushing curricula that require reading materials that challenge students to perform at a higher level.
Authentic Content: It is no longer good enough to assess students on
passages created for tests. Students will now be assessed on passages
from published works, and those works will enter the classroom as
instructional materials.
The Classics: Despite the rumors, Common Core is not removing the socalled classic works of literature from the classrooms, but instead is adding
sources that complement and provide context to the classics. For example,
when reading The Great Gatsby, students might also read news articles on
the Prohibition era or chapters from social histories of the 1920s.
For publishers, the Common Core is a major change, as new curricula
now require a vast amount of informational texts on a range of subjects
and from a range of media that were previously underused in courses. In
grades 35, for example, Common Core recommends that 50% of reading
be in the form of informational texts. This rises to 60% in the middle school
grades and 70% in high school.
As the Common Core Standards are being implemented, the demand for
content, both entire works and portions, is rising, and many publishers,
including adult trade publishers, university presses, and news and magazine publishers, will now be working with a perhaps unfamiliar market sector. This is an opportunityalthough one that comes with significant challenges. For example, curriculum decisions are largely made at the local level,
and while key decision makers in each district may be experts in education,
they are not always experts in content discovery and licensing. How will
they discover new content, license it, and make it available to classrooms?
Publishers will need to be proactive, while taking into consideration
what content is going to be in demand and how to get the content and
rights where they are needed. Their content must be visible and easily
available. Effectively managing digital rights and licenses will be critical.
And as the overall implementation of the Common Core evolves, licenses
must be flexible enough to evolve as well.
Publishers of textbooks and canonical works should consider how to
make these works more useful in this new context. What informational
materials should supplement an existing work? Should additional content
appear in the book or in a separate supplement? Are a publishers systems
and processes prepared for requests for curriculum use? The more quickly
publishers react to market demands, the more likely that their content will
be incorporated into curricula and that licenses will be issued.
Schools in the United States are in the beginning stages of adopting the
Common Core and college and career readiness standards, and publishers should follow the sector and position their content to best take advantage of this new academic future. The annual educational market in 2013
for published content was $9 billion, and on its current trajectory, that market is poised to grow, with greater amounts of content, whether whole
works or portions, to be in demand very soon. To seize this opportunity,
publishers will need to be agile and innovative.

Part of publishers discontent
with BookExpo Canada had been
its expense, particularly because
the outlay didnt have any direct
result in terms of book sales. While
the venue remains the same,
Davies says they are trying to make
participation more affordable for
smaller publishers.
The Ontario Book Publishers
Organization will have a pavilion
for indie publishers, which David
Caron, ECWs co-publisher, has been
promoting to OBPO members. It
will have 10 round spaces divided
into quarter sections, which are
being offered first to member publishers, then to Ontario publishers,
and finally to any Canadian publisher, he tells Show Daily. ECW will
be part of the Canadian Manda
Group booth, but Caron says it may
also take some space in the indie
pavilion, alongside other publishers such as Dundurn.
Caron acknowledges that beyond
the cost of the booth, publishers still
have the costs of authors traveling
to the event, along with marketing
expenses and staffing. It adds up, he
says, but he notes that the Ontario
Media Development Corporation is
providing some funding for travel
and marketing for Canadian authors.
Linda Leith, who established
her own small press in 2011 after
founding and being artistic director of Blue Metropolis Montreal
International Literary Festival for
more than 12 years, will be part of
the new Toronto fair. I think its an
event that can be very important to
small publishers as well as large
publishers, and we need to support
it to get it on its feet and on its way,
she says. She points out that the
cost of a stand is less than for the
Salon du Livre in Quebec. In competitive terms, they are doing their
best to keep the costs down for
small publishers she says.

Internet was invented for collaborative innovation.
Although The Innovators doesnt
favor one person over another,
Isaacson told the audience that he
is particularly taken by the story of
Lord Byrons daughter, Ada
Lovelace. She was a creative person, a poet, and caught in the middle of her parents bad marriage.
Lady Byron objected to Adas
poetry writing and insisted she be
tutored in math instead, Isaacson
says. Still a poet at heart, when

to program patterns, colors, and
fabrics together to create designs.
She was one of the first to combine liberal arts and beauty with
science, much as weve learned to
program how to connect software
to hardware. Isaacson mentioned
that his next book might be a biography of Lovelace, whom he credits for being an early digital innovator.
Isaacson, it turns out, is a fan of
paper books. Paper itself is interactive, its a great technology, he

Ned who safeguards the community. The magic in this book is very much a
character, Howard said. And the richness of language is so important.
The Witchs Boy, Howard concluded, is poignant and heartbreaking. And,
moderator Weinkauf added, since Barnhill lives in the Twin Cities, her store
will be hosting the launch party for the book in September.
The Truth About Twinkie Pie, said Alvina Ling of Little Brown Books for
Young Readers, is more of a modern-day fairy tale than the previous offerings, but this voice-driven book about family, food, and life, written by Kat
Yeh during NaNoWriMo, contains just as much magic. After trailer-trash
sisters Gigi and DiDi enter a national cooking contest, they win $1 million
and their lives change, beginning with a move to the gold coast of Long
Island. This book is more layered than the Twinkie pie on the cover, Ling
said. It will make you smile and break your heart at the same time. Actual
recipes are sprinkled throughout the book. Ling disclosed that Little, Brown
won the book at auction against four other publishers, including one house
that offered Yeh more money after Little, Browns bid had already been
accepted by her agent. I found this book irresistible, Ling said. Its everything I love most about middle-grade fiction.
Kate Harrison of Penguin Young Readers Group called Life of Zarf: The
Trouble with Weasels her dream book, admitting that the book about a
troll in middle school in a fairy tale world with modern touches made her
laugh almost nonstop from page one onwards. Harrison decided that she
had to buy international syndicated comic strip creator Rob Harrells
novel when she came to the page featuring his illustration of the middle
school social hierarchy. The humor in this book is absolutely brilliant,
Harrison said, recalling that after she had moved from a small town in
Missouri to St. Louis in junior high, she, too, felt like a troll in her new
schools social ranking. I really needed the Life of Zarf then, she said. This
book takes you back, and makes you laugh about school hierarchy. Plus,
she said, theres another theme that middle-school readers will relate to:
its got a great message of friendship between Zarf and his two buddies: an
