Since you’ll need a NYCC badge to attend BookCon, the publishers will not relocate from the show floor.

Not an unexpected occurrence. However, I was doing it before they had the first BookCon in AZ. What I started at Phoenix Comicon was a similar approach. A focus on genre authors (in 2014 we had 70+ authors, three publishers exhibiting and several other publishers participating) with multiple programming tracks, an area dedicated to authors adjacent to Artists Alley. It was unoficially dubbed AuthorCon within the overall comicon. However, the powers that be decided to scale it back (about 60% of what 2014 was) while other cons (Emerald City, now NYCC) have started expanding their author based content.
