Important News - Panels Suggestions and Panelists - Help

Hello Lovely Bloggers and Publishers,

We are lining up the proposed panels here today and we want, nay NEED input. We want this to be a conference for EVERYONE, so we are happy to accept suggestions of panelists. What you want to ask of who, and who you want us to chase down and get there.

Also - IF you can not afford the cost to come just email us. We are happy to have extra help in place of money, BUT know you will receive more then your cost of admission in books - print and electronic.

The Cost is $45 for the conference and $7 for the shipping.
This is 5 days for around $55

All genres of book bloggers and publishers are welcome, but as the organizers we are primarily fiction and genre fiction to be specific. ***If you have an area of interest that is not being proposed JUST TELL US. I have no shame I will gladly contact anyone and ask them to participate.
