What Authors Say Concerning the NBCC

"The 2008 NBCC was truly a wonderful experience. The support and love and response I received from the loyal and enthusiastic book club members touched my heart. They remind me of why I write and why I launched my own independent publishing company, DownSouth Press. Thank you, Curtis, for all the work you do for writers, for readers and for African- American literature. You are a treasure, and we do appreci- ate you."
- Tina McElroy Ansa, New York Times best-selling author

You have created the best environment for both authors and book lovers. It is intimate, warm, friendly and informative - despite the 600+ enthusiastic book club members in attendance. Where else is there an author red carpet? We can't wait for the next one."
- Donna Grant & Virginia DeBerry, best-selling authors

"This was my second time attending NBCC and it was just as thrilling, exciting and overwhelming as it was the ?rst time. This is truly the one place where authors can connect with folks who are there about BOOKS! Getting the chance to meet and mingle with the book clubs is an awesome and humbling experience. Of course. the other highlights are seeing all of your author friends that you only talk to via email! And the red carpet.... I look forward to coming back year after year!"
- Donna Hill, multi best-selling author

"NBCC... the most important book club conference for authors and publishers of color... NBCC does for the Atlanta what the Harlem Book Fair does for the New York - provides access and information for both the up-and- coming as well as the established authors."
- Eric Jerome Dickey, New York Times best-selling author

The National Book Club Conference, Inc., is often a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by Curtis Bunn on the principles of advertising the wonder of books, both to adults and youths.

The NBCC is comprised of the little, devoted and detail-oriented staff based in Atlanta that functions year-round to produce what noted author Walter Mosley calls, "The very best ebook event I've ever been to." (See the 2009 Conference page to study other's views about the NBCC.)
