Book Bloggers and Publishers Online Conference – by Terry Kate
March 19-20 – Special Author Day the 21st

Since starting my site Romance in the Backseat I have faced a number of hurdles that closely resembled mountains.  I learned and the more I learned, as often happens, I realized the more there was to know.  Publishing is a complex business and bloggers, reviewers, and sites like my own are beginning to play a role in that industry.  Authors are the face of publishing, as are their books, but blogs are a great resource to get information out to readers.

Here is the problem that slowly built the more insight I got from talking to publishers, authors and bloggers – There are only so many readers online and they can be hard to find.  How do you know you are reaching them, and if we are how can we do more?  So I decided to take on the huge undertaking of organizing a conference that would allow those of us looking to share books, and promote them online  to compare notes and get on the same page.

There is a reason for the World Business Forum, the World Social Forum, and other meetings where groups are working in the same area, with the same goals and can benefit from greater understanding.  I hate to say it since it is so cliche, but knowledge is power and the publishing industry and book sales need some power behind them right now.  So here is the other details and specifics.
