BOA Editions Celebrating 40 Years
In 2016, BOA Editions, Ltd. will celebrate their 40th anniversary. Founded in 1976 by A. Poulin, Jr., BOA has published more than 300 titles, releasing 10-12 new works each year. To celebrate their anniversary, the press will be introducing a newly designed website with a fully-integrated online bookstore and interactive author events page. The enhanced website will also include a year-long social media campaign using the hashtag #BOATurns40 for readers and writers to share their “ideal reading and/or writing experience,” with video content of BOA authors giving their answers. BOA has lots in store for AWP 2016 as well, from giveaways to an onsite reading.
With the help of the Lannan Foundation, BOA has kicked off a yearlong Major Gifts Campaign called “40 for 40” with a goal to raise a total of $80,000 for BOA’s celebration and future. To learn more about the 40 for 40 campaign, head over to the BOA blog.
Stay tuned for additional BOA annivesary events and activities to be announced in 2016.
