Every reader should attend this

As an independent author you want to find a location where you can meet the readers, have a conversation with them about what they like to read, and also talk to other authors. I found the most important event that I have to attend annually is the National Book Club Conference. I save the date for every year the first weekend in August, book my flight and travel to Atlanta Georgia for the best weekend to soak everything in.



National Book Club Conference Foundation, Inc., is a literary organization founded by author Curtis Bunn that executes one of the premier annual literary events—referred to as Literary Bliss—featuring African-American authors and readers. Hundreds of book lovers receive unprecedented, intimate access to the talent that creates the work they enjoy and appreciate.
 
Important to the NBCC, however, is to introduce new or lesser-known authors that have created stories that are entertaining, informative and important.

The annual weekend, which is almost a spiritual occasion, consists of numerous book club meetings, panel discussions and other events that give readers face time with authors that rivals any literary occasion anywhere, in a fun, relaxed and intimate setting. The NBCC is where readers from across the country come together and depart friends.

What I came away with is I met authors that inspired me, they explained their beginnings, gave advice that I took to heart and applied it to be a better author. I have readers that purchased my books, connected with me on social media, invited me to come to speak at their book clubs, and call me friend. 


Attending the event I have new  friends that I look forward to seeing, authors and readers  that hold each other accountable for projects that we want to complete by the next year, and share information about upcoming events . We want to see each other win!



If there is one event that I can suggest to those who are avid readers and want to meet authors nationally and lesser known they should attend. You will have workshops to attend to learn more about the book industry and for those who have that book that they want to write it's perfect because you are meeting authors, literary agents, publicists .
