If you are press or a legitimate blogger, you need to register through the media registration, that will get you the flat $135.00 rate that includes your BEA badge. You can call out Client Services directly at 203-840-5614. There is not a clear cut definition of a 'legitimate' book blogger, we use impressions as barometer as that is the value for the publishers so they know their is a audience that reviewing and recommending (or not) the books they are discussing. We won't be militant but a blog that is covering very few books and only being seen by a few hundred people would not qualify. I hope this makes sense.Steven Rosatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418493489085105810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758910351173237115.post-20128581480879679792012-02-10T08:52:36.154-05:002012-02-10T08:52:36.154-05:00If you are a qualified as a book blogger or media,...If you are a qualified as a book blogger or media, contact our Client Services dept at 203.840.5614 and they will get you registered properly.
