compelling performers, Mr. Brody invites his guests to
write and present original stories, creating an
evening that is intimate, incisive, sometimes
hilarious and often poignant.

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.
