Even though I didn’t submit a novel to the latest BookFest book awards competition, I am attending the free online BookFest conference this weekend. The conference is a 2-day affair with Day 1 geared toward readers and Day 2 geared toward writers, but both days packed with fantastic author interviews, discussion panels and information on hot new books plus publishing industry challenges. Check out books by BookFest Book Award Winners (I’m a past winner!). You never know what new authors you will discover! I will be writing a series of posts relating my thoughts on my favorite topics from from this BookFest, so be on the lookout for updates over the next few days!
