NIEA President Doug Fogelson recently attended the 2017 Book Expo America Convention at the Javits Center in New York City. He met a few of the winners and finalists from both current and past competitions and connected with some of our other partners, friends and vendors too. It was a great opportunity to take in the depth and breadth of the publishing industry at the bleeding edge (as they say). The state of publishing today is vibrant and diverse.
