It's almost time once again for the Book Bloggers and Publishers Online Conference (BBOPC). This conference brings together bloggers, publishers, and authors, in order to "help us advance communication" between them.
I attended this conference last year, and I found it highly informative. One of the things that I loved was the fact that the discussions remain posted for about a month, so you can come back and listen to them later.
Attendees can also request some free books provided by the publishers. I see there aren't too many this year to interest me, as the majority of them are paranormal and romance, neither of which hold much interest for me. However I found the conference informative enough last year to justify attending, even if I wind up finding only a couple of books of interest.
Some of the topics that will be covered:
- Where do Books Come From: Review Copy Distribution
- What Authors look for in Reviews
- What PR Departments do
- Building a Relationship with Publishers
- To Review or Not to Review Self-Pub
- Book Blogging as a Business?

Thanks for the Post!
Trust me - More books to come! Honestly we just have not gotten through all of the boxes and a few publishers have given us their full catalog in ebook form. Oh and if there is a publisher who's books you like let me know and I can hit them up.
Thanks again,
Terry Kate
No problem at all, Terry! I found the conference so informative last year that I thought it would be worth the registration fee even if I didn't get any books. But it's nice to know that there will be more on the way!
