what attendees are saying
The only book marketing conference you need to attend! Presenters cover the basics to the advanced and the price is an absolute bargain for this type of knowledge sharing! Plus you get the recordings to watch later for any moments you missed.
BookBrush inspired me to take my author career to another level and gave me the tools and ideas to push on toward the next step. I had a great time learning from experienced, successful authors and getting my questions answered. I highly recommend BookBrush, not only for their easy-to-use tools but now also for their conferences! Looking forward to the next one.
I learned so much valuable information attending BookMARCon2023 and got the chance to pitch to some top agents. Not only were the presenters knowledgeable about their subjects, everything was done professionally. Dana, Kathleen, and C.J. made the weekend fun. I can't wait for BookMARCon2024.
Speakers shared useful information that I can start implementing this week!
I've attended many writer conferences in-person, and they usually offer only one session on marketing, if any. BookMARCon is the most informative conference on book marketing and includes everything an author needs to know to increase book sales. It was amazing!
BookMARCon was the most informative writers' convention I have ever attended, and I've attended many, both in person and virtually. The sheer volume of information presented was amazing, and I was impressed by the generosity, both in terms of personal tips and tangible goods, shown by many of the presenters.
BookMARCon 2023 was a very informative 3-day event with amazing presenters who shared their personal journeys , and knowledge in helping authors with marketing and networking. I enjoyed asking questions, and receiving valuable feedback that I am able to use in order to take my author journey to the next level. I can’t wait for BookMARCon 2024!
BookMARCon 2023 was a great event with great speakers. From each session and each speaker, I learned something new and relevant. It was inspirational!
WONDERFUL workshop. Full of ideas to enhance programs I already have in place but were under-utilizing. Even learned another fun promotional idea on Book Brush!
The workshop was fantastic! I came into it with prior experience creating swag, which generated a lot of interest at a previous book signing. When I have dinner with my readers next month, I'll see which of my new swag designs they'll be most interested in. Thanks for a great time!
This conference was well organized with many opportunities and free workshops and resources leading up to the main event. The opportunity to attend a virtual writing conference from the comfort of home meant there were no travel or hotel expenses. I especially appreciated the opportunity to pitch to literary agents. I will definitely recommend this event to my writer colleagues and plan to attend next year. Many thanks!
Loved that it was focused on marketing our books and gave specific info and links. Learned so much that can help me increase my books’ visibility and sales. Will be there again in 2024.
BookMARCon is a wonderful event and it's great for writers looking to get a literary agent and to hone their craft!
A thorough look at the 'beast' that can be book marketing with a complete and understandable set of 'classes' that is not to be missed if you are serious about a career as an author.
BookMarCom was chock full of professional tips and information. Even though I haven't used BookBrush's tools for a while, the educational sessions they provide are outstanding.
