April 1 through April 7
The first Twitter Based Book Blogger Conference
Let me tell you about a little event that Ashley of The Bookish Brunette and I have come up with.
We know that a lot of you would love to attend a Book Blogger Conference, but if you are like me, you don’t have the money for travel or the time to take off to pursue something that most of our families thinks of as “that hobby.” So…what was the brainstorm? A Twitter Conference. On twitter.
Seven days of Great Book Topics and Awesome Twitter Discussions
The #BBTC will run the first week of April. Our panels are tentative and we are open for suggestions. We also will need help. A lot of help. We’ll need moderators and panelist. Bloggers willing to let their opinion be heard about the subjects we are talking about. Bloggers that want to help other bloggers in the spirit of community and also, maybe, reach a bigger audience then they normally would. Check out the panel list here.
A Book Blogger Awards Program
During the week of the #BBTC we will also be hosting a blogger awards program. Because, at the end of these cons, they usually give out awards right? This one will be a little more silly and a little more fun then the usual awards. We have some real recognition planned for some great bloggers, but we also want you guys to chime in and tell us who are your favorite bloggers and authors! The nomination process starts now. Finalist will be announced in March. Winners announced during the #BBTC.
The top award is what we are deeming “Twitter Queen” or “Twitter King”. You’ll get a virtual tiara or crown if you win!
Daily Giveaways
We also hope to have tons of great giveaways during the festivities. Because we go to these cons for the books, right? We are currently pandering for sponsors, so if you are an author, interested in getting your name out there to our attendees, we’ll be happy to accommodate.
For more information, check out the #BBTC portal on this site. Under Events. Or click here. Look at the sidebars for buttons that will take you to all necessary forms.
Thanks guys! Let’s make this awesome.

Hey!
I am an author who’d love to give out free ebook copies for the giveaway part of the conference. What can I do to help/sponsor?
J I will email you! Thank you so much.
Fantastic idea!! Really excited to see this take off and become an annual event. I would absolutely love to find out more about the sponsor stuff and add my book to the donate pile
Thanks Jen! I’ll email you the info.
Jaclyn at JC’s Book Haven sent me the link to this post. I’m so glad she did. What a fantastic event! I would love to offer my two ebooks. I’d also love to participate as a blogger, though as a newbie, I’m not sure in what capacity. Man, this is a cool idea.
I’ll do a giveaway if you still need them.
Very excited about this. Roll on 1 Apr
