NCIBA trade show - Independent Publishers Row

This weekend is the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association trade show in Oakland, California. The NCIBA trade show is where hundreds of indie booksellers congregate to find out what's new and hot in the publishing world. This year I'm proud to announce the first annual Independent Publishers Row, a collaborative venture between the NCIBA and Northern California independent publishers.

The Independent Publishers Row, featured on the trade show floor, spotlights some of the finest NoCal indie publishers including Tachyon, Regent Press, Aunt Lute Books, Manic D Press, Last Gasp Books, PoliPointPress, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Palace Press, KOMENAR Publishing, Cleis Press, and more.

Booksellers and publishers alike will enjoy this unique opportunity to find out more about the great books being published in Northern California by independent presses. And (full disclosure) I'm so delighted to have been working with the behind-the-scenes folks who made this happen. Special thanks go to Kristen Frantz from Berrett-Koehler/NCBPMA, Hut Landon from the NCIBA, and all of the booksellers and publishers who worked so hard on this project. Indies rock!
