The deadline to submit authors for the New Voices New Rooms 2025 conference in Atlanta (August 3-6) is fast approaching! Submissions close on May 1st, after which the NVNR Team will start placing authors in the program and promoting their appearances to booksellers.
Publishers must be confirmed exhibitors before their authors can be confirmed for NVNR 2025, but confirmation is NOT required to submit authors. Space in the program is limited, so NVNR strongly recommends publishers submit as soon as possible, even if exhibit plans are still pending, so their authors can be placed.
Over 100 booksellers from about 70 bookstores have already registered for NVNR. Registration is up about 25% compared to the same time in 2024. Meeting authors in one of the most important reasons booksellers come to the conference, so it is important for publishers to submit any authors they want to send to NVNR 2025 as soon as possible.
