70 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ■ SEPTEMBER 2, 2019
Fall Regionals
● NAIBA continues to maintain its book buzz panels for adults
and kids with presentations by editors. Another popular session
that made the cut and is back is a standalone presentation on a
topic that booksellers have been buzzing about. This year that’s
human resources; the session is titled “Managing Our Greatest
Assets: Our Staff.” Stephanie Steinberg, HR director for Hachette
Book Group, will be joined by Rebecca Fitting, co-owner of
Greenlight Bookstores in Brooklyn, N.Y., to recreate scenarios
encountered in bookstores and provide guidance for responding
to them.● When it comes to diversity, for NAIBA that extends to the
presses themselves. “We’re really trying to make sure that
independent presses are represented at the Movable Feast and
the Editors’ Buzz, and on the trade show floor,” Dengler says.
The annual independent press author reception is also back.
This year it will run concurrently with the Wine-Down
Author Reception, which follows the awards banquet.● From the opening night all through the conference,
authors are front and center. The opening author breakfast
on the first full day brings together kids’ authors, including
