The Book Bloggers and Publishers Online Conference is coming up fast! Just over a month from now – from Mar 7th to 11th. I attended last year and learned so much! This year I’m serving as a panelist for several panels as well as a moderator for several more. I’m pretty excited! We are going to be talk about some pretty important topics! Not only are the discussions great, but everyone who registers gets free books!
This is the 3rd Book Bloggers and Publishers Online Conference, March 7-11 2012.
We are excited to welcome some fabulous publishers and bloggers this year as we work together to better understand the relationship between authors, bloggers, and publishers in the industry.
There will be audio panels and simultaneous chat rooms for the live interaction. All panels are recorded and available to attendees for a month after the conference. This is an opportunity to make new friends amongst bloggers and other industry professionals. There will be authors, editors, speakers from PR and Marketing departments, publishers, and specialists in social media, time management, and online organization.
All attendees will also receive books for giveaway from participating publishers. There are print and e-book titles available. Titles are being added to the giveaway page daily.
Below you will find a listing of the Panels and a short list of the panelists speaking at the conference.
