Booksellers: Our Rep Night last Spring was such a hit we are doing it again! Join us for GLIBA Rep Night! A new title presentation party. Sponsored by Baker & Taylor, hosted by GLIBA. Featuring an amazing mix of 10 sales reps presenting their forthcoming titles, this night will be both fun and informative, and give attendees a chance to relax, meet book industry colleagues, and stay informed about new books and authors to feature in the seasons to come. This invite is public, so please share it with your bookselling friends! Bookstore staff only, please. Space is limited so I encourage you to sign up quickly.
We are thrilled to announce that author Elliot Ackerman will be joining us for Rep Night. Elliot is the author of the novels Waiting for Eden (Knopf), Dark at the Crossing, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and Green on Blue. His writings have appeared in Esquire, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The New York Times Magazine, among other publications, and his stories have been included in The Best American Short Stories and The Best American Travel Writing. He is both a former White House Fellow and Marine, and served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart. He divides his time between New York City and Washington, D.C.
