INTRODUCTION<br />

<strong>Welcome</strong> to Brain to Books!<br />

I created Brain to Books in 2014 with one purpose: to unite and assist undiscovered authors in<br />

marketing and promotion.<br />

In 2015, I saw the significant lack of opportunity available to authors today, and invented an<br />

event to provide undiscovered authors with the opportunity the need: The Annual Brain to Books<br />

Cyber Convention and Book Expo. That year, we started with 160 authors and filled three days<br />

with marketing and book promotions, these authors emerged from the writer’s cave and, in the<br />

style of the State Fair, helped build an event designed to attract readers—not authors.<br />

In 2016, Brain to Books CyCon returned. We saw a 500% growth, from 160 members to 800 in<br />

just a couple months (60% of whom were readers)! In 2017, we are projecting upwards of<br />

1,000% growth. That is a lot of readers in one place on three days, and every undiscovered<br />

author is invited to attend. Use our CyCon to promote your books and build your platform!<br />

Plans are underway for April 2017. We have blog tours, book readings, blog hops, cover wars,<br />

tournaments, giveaways, and cash prizes for both authors and readers. This year, we have built a<br />

marketing team designed to teach authors how to market effectively long after the CyCon is<br />

over.<br />

Brain to Books CyCon happens online and is open to everyone worldwide making this<br />

opportunity available to everyone. We don’t charge readers, encouraging them to come to our<br />

event, ready to buy your books! Our headquarters are www.b2bcycon.com. We have a closed<br />

Facebook group where you can jump in and ask questions.<br />

This December (17 December 2016), we are hosting a CyCon sampler so you can see and<br />

experience a taste of what you will see in April.<br />

You probably are looking at this going, “This! I want to get into this!” But how? Where do you<br />

go? How do you start? This short <strong>Welcome</strong> <strong>Packet</strong> is designed to get you started. Follow the<br />

steps in order, and you’ll be well on your way to the CyCon!<br />

Warmest wishes,<br />

Angela B. Chrysler<br />
