National Book Club Conference

August 1-3, 2008

Atlanta, Georgia

The sixth-annual NBCC will take place Aug. 1-3, 2008 in Atlanta at a still-to-be-determined site. Rest assured the venue will be one that services all the needs of the 650 readers from around the country and match the standards set by the coordinators.

The tentative list of Featured Authors is astounding: Iyanla Vanzant, Eric Jerome Dickey, Terry McMillan, Omar Tyree, Tina McElroy Ansa, Kimberla Lawson Roby, R.M. Johnson, Terrie Williams, Walter Mosley and more. It is indicative of how the NBCC has grown into the must-attend for any reader who covets the opportunity to fellowship with like-minded book lovers from around the country and some of the most outstanding authors around.
