Help the BBP

Hello Everyone,


The BBP officially starts Wednesday, people can register past then, but the forums are already up and kicking so we want to make sure as many people as possible know about the event before it gets started. If you can help with a tweet, facebook post, blog post, or best of all - invite your friends in case I missed them with all of the running to find as many of us as possible.  Authors are welcome as well to get involved and help improve communication between all book lovers online, strengthening the online book community.


Thanks for everything you have done since the BBP was announced. We are going to have a great Online Conference!
- Terry Kate

Got Questions?

We are almost there - today the forums and chats open and we are still welcoming Bloggers - Authors - Publishers to the Conference. 

If you have questions email Terry Kate at

Books for Conference

There has been some confusion over the format of the books available, so to make things easier I am providing a list of which books are ebooks and which are print. The other postings will give you cover images and publishers.

If you live outside the US or Canada and want print copies you will need to pay for the additional cost of shipping. Remember, the books are first come first serve so send me your list (or updated list) as soon as you know which books you would like and I will get them sent to you.

The picture doesn't do the piles justice, looks like I will be making numerous treks to the post office soon. :-)
