One of the best parts about Book Expo is that you get to meet a whole range of authors that you may not ordinarily get to meet.  Hundreds of authors from almost every genre are present--giving talks, signing books, or just hanging out in some cases.

I'm hoping to create a list here of the authors confirmed for Book Expo in 2013, not just the ones signing, but also any who may be hanging around the floor unaware of the rabid book lovers just waiting to pounce...I'll also list any author events, or links to at the very least, happening in NYC during that week as well.  I won't be listing the Author Breakfast authors, they're pretty easy to find out about.

And starting in March I'll have an Author Spotlight highlighting the authors, cause hey they're rockstars right?

I'll keep this updated as I find out new information!
