YALC 2019 Master List – Proofs/ARCs, Giveaways, Early Copies

UPDATED 24/7/2019 15:18

Hi friends! It’s that time of year again, YALC 2019 is only days away! Like last year, Lizzie and I have compiled the master list of all the proofs, giveaways and fun things that the publishers of YALC are doing and I’m so excited to share it with you!

At the bottom of this post is a PDF of the Master list that you can download and print out. You can even search for things when you download it to your computer. I’ve also gone and split things up in this post a bit & linked to books that are mentioned so you can check them out if you haven’t heard about them before.

A lot of people have been asking about the bookswap that Hot Key Books usually runs, this year it’s in the chill out zone, which is sponsored by Paper & Hearts Society!

First of all, I’ll let you know which stalls have card and cash. There’s a cash machine usually by the YALC entrance, but there is a charge. Be aware that internet signal in YALC is unreliable, so card readers at individual publishers stalls may fail.

Stalls with Card Readers and Cash: Stripes, Bloomsbury, Faber & Faber, Hot Key Books, Illumicrate, Rock the Boat, Simon & Schuster, Josie Jaffrey, Quirk Books, Melia Books

Stalls with Card Only: Hodder, BKMRK

Stalls with Cash Only: Anderson Press, Atom Books, Barrington Stoke, Usborne, Scholastic, Chicken House,

Now let’s get to the bit you’re most excited about – THE ARCS! Details on how to get the ARCS and if there are any time specifics will be explained.
