Two hundred and fifty Smashwords authors will be featured this week at
Bouchercon 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Bouchercon,
now in its 46th year, is the world's largest mystery convention. It's
expected to draw 1,500 readers, writers, publishers, editors, agents,
booksellers and other lovers of crime fiction.
Included
in the conference registration bags will be a Smashwords thumb drive.
On that drive will be 430 ebooks from 250 Smashwords authors. The drive features breakout indies, New York Times bestsellers, USA
Today bestsellers, hybrid authors that publish both indie and
traditionally, and future breakout authors.
Invited authors were selected from among Smashwords crime fiction bestsellers, Bouchercon attendees and members of
Sisters in Crime.
We've
done similar drive promotions for RT Booklovers, RWA and Penned Con,
and they're always a hit with readers and writers alike. It's a great
chance for the industry's most enthusiastic crime fiction fans to
discover their new favorite authors.
Jim
Azevedo, Smashwords marketing director, will also be on hand at the
conference manning a Smashwords table and participating in workshops.
On October 8 at 11:30am, Jim is on the
"Changing Face of Publishing for Writers & Readers" panel at the Marriott, room University A/B. Immediately following the panel, Jim will be right down the hall, in room University C, presenting a workshop titled
"The Secrets of Best Selling Indie Authors." In this workshop, he'll share best practices of the bestselling indie ebook authors. Consider adding Jim's session to your schedule via the excellent Bouchercon app, which you can get here:
