- W291755488 abstract "An interview of Charles Chatmon about the August 21, 2010 Los Angeles Black Book Expo conducted by JPAS guest editor Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd. Charles Chatmon is the executive director of the Los Angeles Black Book Expo (P.O. Box 533133, Los Angeles, California 90053; 323-718-5678). Hello Charles Chatmon. Please describe this year's Los Angeles Black Book Expo that occurred in August 2010, and the origin of LABBX? This year's L.A. Black Book Expo was held inside the Sheraton Gateway LAX Hotel, which we had a wide range of authors from New York to Los Angeles. We had panel discussions, workshops, a spoken word feature and a children's area just as we've always had it for the expo. We also added an Authors Competition and other contests as well. In the beginning, we've held the LABBX inside the Expo Center (as it's called now) at Exposition Park. I've been the executive director for four years, but for the first two of our six year history, Dr. Itibari Zulu who is also the founder of the expo, was its original executive director. Our focus is serving the community by providing a quality book event for authors and exhibitors and for the general public. How far was it from the neighborhood or as some say the hood? The Sheraton is located near the airport. Mind you, it took us out of the community, but we were focused on providing more events that took place within such as a writer's workshop and spelling bee. Because we had 'outgrown' the Expo Center, it was my decision to find a suitable place for LABBX. The hotel had reached out to us, so I had to see what they have to offer. I can say they provided the best atmosphere for us and a lot of the authors enjoyed the experience. What were the outstanding features of LABBX 2010, and who were some of the old and new authors? Michael Colyar, the former host of BET's Live in L.A. joined us this year, and he enjoyed the event, which we're glad he did. The Authors Competition generated a lot of interest as well as our move to the Sheraton itself. I think that was the reason why we attracted over sixty exhibitors this year. We had veteran writers such as Lutishia Lovely, Kwan, Vicki Ward, Maxine Thompson, new authors such as Jacqueline Luckett, Donnette Black, Pacific Raven Press from Hawaii, even actress Cherie Johnson of Punky Brewster, Family Matters) has a book and LABBX was her first event! If anyone is interested, we have a complete exhibitors list of who attended (with video) on our blog at http://labbx.blogspot.com. We also had the Sunset and Gumbo show on Urban Soul Radio 102.5 FM come out and interview authors, which was fun. How far did authors come from, and how many? From New York to Hawaii, and every year it seems as if we attract authors from the East coast which is a blessing to us. By far, this was the largest L.A. Black Book Expo on record with over sixty authors! Our team did a great job in getting the word out there. Who sold the most books or generated the most vivid response from the audience? I've heard from numerous authors that their books sold, so it's hard to tell if children's books sold any better than non-fiction or fiction, but as long as sales were made, it doesn't matter to me. What will be different next year in 2011? Good question. The LABBX Executive Circle hasn't held our meeting yet, so I don't want to take away any great plans one of the committee members might have but I will say we'll continue to make our event better. …" @default.
