Hello Heartland booksellers! The last time we were together in person, it looked like this, a happy band of booksellers unleashed on the bookstores of Cleveland, Ohio in 2019. What's the collective noun for a group of booksellers? A stack, a signature... an army? Here in 2021, we're still separated by the undefinable parameters of a pandemic--but at least we're facing it together. Here are the highlights of Heartland 2021, an all-virtual event designed to capture attention spans in a time when virtual events are flourishing, while also complementing the wide array of industry resources already in place.

We're aiming to complement that work by delivering a diverse cross-publisher experience for our booksellers by "unboxing" exhibits and delivering your content directly to you. How will we do that?
PS: Mark your calendar for our return to an in-person show. We'll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of Heartland on October 12-14, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch.
