BEA Wrap Up: Literati-a-go-go Supports Independent Bookstore

On Friday night, former Publishers Weekly publisher, David Nudo and Priot Entertainment Group literary manager, Donna Bagdasarian hosted their swingin’ Literati-a-go-go party to help support local independent bookstore, Idlewild Books during BEA.

In attendance were mixed media representatives from television, fashion, magazine and book publishing. They included editors, publishers, literary agents, producers and writers from companies such as St. Martin’s Press, Weinstein Company, Wiley, Tommy Hilfiger, Macmillan, Publishers Weekly, GQ, Library Journal, Genre Magazine, and even Mediabistro‘s own Chris Ariens.

Located near 19th Street & 5th Avenue, Idlewild is a specialty independent bookstore that features not only literary picks but also travel-related books and books related to specific geographic locations.
