The Brain to Book Convention and Book Expo: A Creative Way to Market Your Book
Most writers who want to get better exposure for their work agree that marketing is one of the hardest parts of writing and publishing. The whole process is hard work, but the marketing aspect seems to have its own mystique.
I already know that I will not be able to expend the same amount of time and energy in marketing my next memoir, The Edge of Hope, mainly due to health-related constraints. So I am looking at options that do not require extensive travel.
When I first heard about the Brain to Book Cyber Convention, my ears perked up.
Here’s a way to market my book without leaving home.
Let me tell you about it:
The Brain to Book Cyber Convention and Book Expo (also known as b2b) was started by Author Angela Chrysler in 2015 with the goal of “providing authors with an open stage where they are free to share and exchange ideas. If you think it, you can do it.” It is open to authors, readers, bloggers who want to showcase their work through a wide variety of venues.
Think of it as an on-line fairgrounds where you can visit author booths, listen to panel discussions, learn about different genres and, if you choose, participate in contests or games for free books.
This is an international event.
And from their website:
“Who we are:
Brain to Books works to unite the voices of undiscovered authors under one message so that we increase the chances of being heard. “We are here,” is our message and our books are worth reading
What we do:
Brain to Books provides a toolbox for authors who lack the knowledge or confidence to market. We gently ease authors into marketing with the use of guerrilla and drip marketing techniques. We are always on the lookout for tools that we can pass on to our authors.
Who we serve:
Brain to Books serves the author who is nervous about networking and marketing. We take authors by the hand and lead them into the world of marketing, and we’re with them every step of the way.”
On April 7, 8, 9, 2017 , The Third Annual Brain to Book Cyber Conference will take place.
I will be participating in the Memoir Genre, managed by Author,Poet, Meditation Teacher Charlene Jones. This will include:
A Book Expo where my memoir, Ever Faithful to His Lead : My Journey Away From Emotional Abuse will be displayed in my “Author Showcase/Booth”.
A Blog Tour where traffic will be directed to my website.
A Genre Tour where I will feature one of my blog posts on memoir writing.
Two Panel Discussions: One on the healing aspects of writing memoir and the other on memoir and mindfulness.
I hope you’ll stop by and explore your areas of interest.

This is my first time participating so I am learning along the way. I’ll let you know how it goes!
