More Buzz for More Books....

Every year we get dozens of submissions to be featured on our Editors Buzz panel at BEA. This year our newly formed Conference Advisory Board handpicked all of the participants and I think we have an exceptional line up for all of the incarnations of the Editors Buzz franchise (Adult, YA and Indie), however there are certainly more books out there that are buzz worthy then 3 panels allow for. Enter the Breakout Books of BookExpo. You can see all of the submissions right here.

In case you missed the details of the 3 Editors Buzz Panels, I've pasted them below for your convenience as that's just the kind of guy I am.
