Here at SAS Publishing, we’ve started the new year off with a bang, particularly when it comes to conferences. We’re attending a number of new shows in addition to the usual lineup this year. Visit our booth, meet our authors, check out our new and forthcoming titles, and talk with an acquisitions editor about that book you’ve been thinking about writing. Whatever your goals, we hope to see you at one of these shows!
